You have to make the class inherit from "Serializable" if you want to handle it easily in python (using all the macros that yade defines). You could use Body.hpp as an example.
As for the user's side, it make no difference if the function is implemented in c++ or python (but the latest is sometimes more "light weight" for the devs). See for instance, the source file py/bodiesHandling.py. Saving them with O.save sounds a little bit involved, since templates are not bodies of the simulation and only them are saved currently. > in hpp. How can I set the length of the vector, after construction of the object in makeClumpTemplate() in yadeWrapper ? > shared_ptr<ClumpTemplate> ct=shared_ptr<ClumpTemplate>(new ClumpTemplate()); >ct->rad ??? >ct->pos ??? The vector will have null length by default, which should be ok. If you register the vectors using python binding (like e.g. "ids" in PartialEngine), you should be able to modify the list like this: ct.rad.append(x) #or ct.rad=[1,1,1] Still, I don't see why there is a pointer to a template in the template. Note also that the current interface uses something quite similar to a template. In triax-tutorial/script1.py, you find this: ## define a unique clump type (we could have many, see clumpCloud documentation) c1=pack.SpherePack([((-0.2*mean_rad,0,0),0.5*mean_rad),((0.2*mean_rad,0,0),0.5*mean_rad)]) ## generate positions and input them in the simulation sp.makeClumpCloud(mn,mx,[c1],periodic=False) c1 is a sort of template, isn't it? So if I understand correctly you want something that would take c1 but would also be more flexible (i.e. that would not require one to use ClumpCloud)?
