Hi,

Is it possible to change a node icon with python? I mean the individual node instance not the whole node type.

Thanks

Wouldn't it be better to change the shape of the current node rather than the icon?

A node icon is part of it's type definition, so it can't be modified for a single instance.

Like mentioned by @alexwheezy, node shape could probably be an alternative to what you want to do, as it's possible to modify it by setting "nodeshape" key in current node's userDataDict

node = hou.pwd()
node.setUserData('nodeshape', 'circle')
