Grasshopper

algorithmic modeling for Rhino

What does 'AddReference' mean in ghpython?

My tutor gave me a ghpython script tutorial. At the beginning of the script, he imports AddReference from clr. And then he writes 'AddReference("Grasshopper")'. I tried to delete these two lines and found nothing happened. I don't quite understand what these two line mean in python. Can anyone tell me something about this?

Hi Wang

these two lines are no longer required in newer versions of GhPython, as GhPython now automatically does this for you.

These lines import the Grasshopper.dll file into Python memory, so that types within it will be found when you do "import Grasshopper".
