XGen Technical Documentation

You can access the XGen API from the runTime directory of the Maya installation package. For example, from the Maya installation package browse to:

\runTime\plug-ins\xgen\include\xGen\XgExternalAPI.h.

For the Python wrappers, browse to the following location:

\runTime\plug-ins\xgen\scripts\xgenm\XgExternalAPI.py.

Important:

Starting in Maya 2016, the name of the include directory has changed from xgen to XGen.

For example the path of XGen header files has changed from:

C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2015/plug-ins/xgen/include/xgen

to

C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2016/plug-ins/xgen/include/XGen.

For the XGen expression reference, see XGen expression reference.
