Recipes for Beginners

Recipes

Hi,

I’m very new to Pollination as a whole and am looking to create my own recipe to significantly speed up a pre-existing process.

After reading numerous other posts I have tried and failed to implement anything so far. This leads me to my point:

Is there any way that someone could share an extremely basic (template-like) recipe which manipulates CSV files using Python code?

Failing this, a simplistic guide to recipe writing assuming very little prior knowledge would also be very much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi @mfgully,

Welcome to the forum. I imagine you have already seen this document, but just in case:

All the Pollination recipes are also available on GitHub if you would like to see some real-world examples. Daylight factor is probably the easiest one to get started with:

I know when we started Pollination, we promoted the fact that everyone can develop their own recipe, but after helping several companies, writing custom recipes proved to be more challenging than we hoped. You just need to know too many different things.

What has been successful is to break down the process. If you can develop your Python script for postprocessing, we can help you make it a recipe that you can run on Pollination.

Feel free to send me a private message with more details about the workflow that you’re trying to automate. I imagine you’re trying to help automate the studies for @jon. You should also include @mikkel.
