Want to add new scripting functions for your jython scripts to use? Know some Java (or aren’t afraid of learning new things)? This might be for you. I’ve written a blog post on how easy it is to add new scripting functions to Ignition. [http://ignitionprogramming.blogspot.com/2011/07/adding-scripting-functions.html](http://ignitionprogramming.blogspot.com/2011/07/adding-scripting-functions.html) You’ll need the Ignition SDK to make this work (available at the [inductiveautomation.com](http://inductiveautomation.com) downloads page). If you want a quick way to get going after installing the SDK, you can also grab the playground project I created, which has all the build files and configuration already in place.

Have you integrated that jmonkey? I think it looks like a great concept. Would be cool to see a video of some 3d stuff in Ignition though that does not follow the “high performance hmi” theory…
