Open Blender to Maximized 3D View on Start-Up

Coding Python Support

Hello,

I am writing a python script that does various functions when appended a .blend file that is opening via command prompt. I’m having difficulty, though, with something that seems like it should be fairly obvious. I want to set the screen, upon the file opening, to be the 3D View only, so that when rendering begins, the only thing you will see is the UV/Image Editor rendering out the current file.

This generally works…

import bpy

for window in bpy.context.window_manager.windows:
    screen = window.screen
    for area in screen.areas:
        if area.type == 'VIEW_3D':
            override = {'window': window, 'screen': screen, 'area': area}
            bpy.ops.screen.screen_full_area(override)
            break

But not when I append it to a .blend file and run it with the command line --python function.

I have a sneaking suspicion that when blender loads, it does not have the context set when the script is firing, and therefore crashes blender.

Any suggestions?

Ooof. It was right under my nose. Got my expected results by toggling render settings to full screen mode via:

import bpy

for scene in bpy.data.scenes:    scene.render.display_mode = 'SCREEN'
