When executing modal operators such as rotation, translation, or scale, text with the current values of the mesh parameters being changed is displayed in the header of the current area. If necessary, we can display any required text in the area header.
We can’t set a collection active through the Blender Python API in one step. The “bpy.context.collection” property is read-only, and the “bpy.context.view_layer.active_layer_collection” has a “LayerCollection” type that cannot be set with the standard “Collection” type. To assign an active collection, we need to find the View Layer collection from the desired base collection and already set it as active.
BPY plus project updated to v. 1.6.1.

One of the common hints to get the user attention when performing certain actions is the changed appearance of the mouse pointer. In Blender, using the Python API, we can set the desired view for the cursor when we need.
To make a texture hidden in Blender so that it does not appear in the list of textures when selected in the Image Editor and is not found through the search, the texture name needs to start with a dot.
In Blender, the block of buttons for selecting an image in the Image Editor is placed in the header of the area by default. If necessary, it can also be placed in the user panel.

In some tools, for example, “eyedropper” or “selection by color”, it is necessary to get the value of the texture pixel that is currently under the mouse cursor. To get pixels data we need to know its coordinates in the texture space.
