polyColorBlindData is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.

This command applies false color to the selected polygonal components and objects, depending on whether or not blind data exists for the selected components (or, in the case of poly objects, dynamic attributes), and, depending on the color mode indicated, what the values are. It is possible to color objects based on whether or not the data exists, if the data matches a specific value or range of values, or grayscale color the data according to what the actual value is in relation to the specified min and max. This command also has a query mode in which the components and/or objects are returned in a string array to allow for selection filtering.

Return value

-mode(-m) int createmultiuse
Specifies the mode:

MEL examples

// In these examples we have type 1000, with one double attribute
// called "fluffy", and type 1001 with attributes "grimy" and "slimy".
// Color all items of id 1000 red. Note that we must also specify
// None color (black) and Clash color(cyan). Note that we must also
// specify the names of the attributes, even if we don't care about
// the attribute values:
polyColorBlindData -ncr 0 -ncg 0 -ncb 0 -ccr 0 -ccg 1 -ccb 1 -id 1000
    -num 1 -m 0 -n "fluffy" -cr 1 -cg 0 -cb 0;
// Now color only those values of "fluffy" between 2 and 5:

    -num 1 -m 2 -dt "double" -n "fluffy" -umn 1 -mnv 2 -umx 1 -mxv 5 -cr 1
    -cg 0 -cb 0;
// Note for a continuous range query we must specify min, max and
// out of range color instead of just color (here values between 2 and 5
// are colored between white and gray, out of range values are yellow):
