Alias API changes (2025.1)
We have made some updates to the Alias API, including additions to the AlEditor, AlFunction, AlPickable, and AlSurface classes.
AlEditor
We've made the following updates to the AlEditor class:
- AlEditor::endGroup() - Lets you end a collapsible widget group.
- AlEditor::addReadOnlyString() - Adds an read only string to the bottom of the editor.
- AlEditor::addImages() - Adds images to editors, which can be used as preview images.
- AlEditor::setVisible() - Allows widgets to be made visible and invisible in the user interface.
- AlEditor::setReadOnlyString() - Sets a read only string to the passed in value.
- AlEditor::addTextButton() - Adds a button widget to the editor, which will execute the callback function when selected.

AlFunction
We've added two new methods to the AlFunction class:
- AlContinuousFunction::updatePrompt() - Sets a static prompt instead of a computable prompt.
- AlContinuousFunction::getPromptInput() - Gets the prompt input.
