palettePort is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates an array of color cells. It could be used to
to store an retrieve some colors you want to manage during your
working session.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
|
-actualTotal(-at)
|
int
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif)
|
|
Set the actual number of palette entries. This number
must be greater than zero, but not be greater than maximum
number of palette entries defined by the dimensions flag.
|
|
-annotation(-ann)
|
string
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
Annotate the control with an extra string value.
|
|
-backgroundColor(-bgc)
|
float float float
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
The background color of the control. The arguments correspond
to the red, green, and blue color components. Each component ranges
in value from 0.0 to 1.0.
When setting backgroundColor, the background is automatically
enabled, unless enableBackground is also specified with a false
value.
|
|
-changeCommand(-cc)
|
script
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif)
|
|
This command string will be executed when a color in the
palette is changed.
|
|
-colorEditable(-ced)
|
boolean
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
If true then the user can modify the current index's color.
|
|
-colorEdited(-ce)
|
script
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif)
|
|
This command string will be executed when a color in the
palette is edited.
|
|
-defineTemplate(-dt)
|
string
|
|
|
Puts the command in a mode where any other flags and args are
parsed and added to the command template specified in the argument.
They will be used as default arguments in any subsequent
invocations of the command when templateName is set as the
current template.
|
|
-dimensions(-dim)
|
int int
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif)
|
|
Set the dimensions of the array.
|
|
-docTag(-dtg)
|
string
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
|
|
Add a documentation flag to the control. The documentation flag
has a directory structure like hierarchy.
Eg. -dt render/multiLister/createNode/material
|
|
-dragCallback(-dgc)
|
script
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif)
|
|
Adds a callback that is called when the middle mouse button
is pressed. The MEL version of the callback is of the form:
global proc string[] callbackName(string $dragControl, int $x, int $y, int $mods)
The proc returns a string array that is transferred to the drop site.
By convention the first string in the array describes the user settable
message type. Controls that are application defined drag sources may
ignore the callback. $mods allows testing for the key modifiers CTL and
SHIFT. Possible values are 0 == No modifiers, 1 == SHIFT, 2 == CTL,
3 == CTL + SHIFT.
In Python, it is similar, but there are two ways to specify the callback. The
recommended way is to pass a Python function object as the argument. In that
case, the Python callback should have the form:
def callbackName( dragControl, x, y, modifiers ):
The values of these arguments are the same as those for the MEL version above.
The other way to specify the callback in Python is to specify a string to be
executed. In that case, the string will have the values substituted into it
via the standard Python format operator. The format values are passed in a
dictionary with the keys "dragControl", "x", "y", "modifiers". The
"dragControl" value is a string and the other values are integers (eg the
callback string could be "print '%(dragControl)s %(x)d %(y)d %(modifiers)d'")
|
|
-dropCallback(-dpc)
|
script
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif)
|
|
Adds a callback that is called when a drag and drop
operation is released above the drop site. The MEL version of the callback is
of the form:
global proc callbackName(string $dragControl, string $dropControl, string $msgs[], int $x, int $y, int $type)
The proc receives a string array that is transferred from the drag source.
The first string in the msgs array describes the user defined message type.
Controls that are application defined drop sites may ignore the
callback. $type can have values of 1 == Move, 2 == Copy, 3 == Link.
In Python, it is similar, but there are two ways to specify the callback. The
recommended way is to pass a Python function object as the argument. In that
case, the Python callback should have the form:
def pythonDropTest( dragControl, dropControl, messages, x, y, dragType ):
The values of these arguments are the same as those for the MEL version above.
The other way to specify the callback in Python is to specify a string to be
executed. In that case, the string will have the values substituted into it
via the standard Python format operator. The format values are passed in a
dictionary with the keys "dragControl", "dropControl", "messages", "x", "y",
"type". The "dragControl" value is a string and the other values are integers
(eg the callback string could be
"print '%(dragControl)s %(dropControl)s %(messages)r %(x)d %(y)d %(type)d'")

|
-transparent(-t)
|
int
|
![create create](../gfx/create.gif) ![query query](../gfx/query.gif)
