I’m having trouble setting the reference to Chief Ray via the API for a Geometric Image Analysis
below is what I have in Matlab, everything works but the highlighted line
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Can't set reference via API for Geometric Image Analysis
+1Best answer by David.Nguyen
This works for me in Python:
geom = TheSystem.Analyses.New_GeometricImageAnalysis()
settings = geom.GetSettings().__implementation__
settings.Reference = ZOSAPI.Analysis.Settings.ReferenceGia.ChiefRay
geom.ApplyAndWaitForCompletion()Ignore the __implementation__, this is a peculiarity of Pythonnet I believe. The line:
settings.Reference = ZOSAPI.Analysis.Settings.ReferenceGia.ChiefRayShould work in MATLAB. Whenever a setting is implemented as a drop-down menu in the user interface, you should expect that an Enumeration is used in the ZOS-API. This means, the corresponding setting is probably not a string such as “Chief Ray”. Instead, it should be coming from a list of predefined values.
Also, in your code you wrote ReferenceGia, this is a type, the property is Reference. I hope this helps.
Take care,
David

+1Thank you for the support, your example works in Matlab.
I appreciate you explaining the enumeration for the drop downs.
Thanks again!
