pymel.core.system.hitTest¶
- hitTest(*args, **kwargs)¶
The hitTestcommand hit-tests a point in the named control and returns a list of items underneath the point. The point is specified in pixels with the origin (0,0) at the top-left corner. This position is compatible with the coordinates provided by a drop-callback. The types of items that may be returned depends upon the specific control; not all controls currently support hit-testing.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.hitTest
Example:
import pymel.core as pm # Let's say that you have the name of a model editor that was # created elsewhere. # editor = "MyModelEditor" # Here's your drop callback: # def myModelEditorDropCallback( dragControl, dropControl, msgs, x, y, type ): # Inside the callback we can hit-test the (x,y) drop-point # against the control. This will return a list of DAG objects # underneath the drop-point. # objects = pm.hitTest( dropControl, x, y ) if len( objects ): # The hit-test returned something. You can now do something # with these objects. pass # # Attach a drop callback to this model editor. # try: control = pm.editor( editor ,query=True, control=True ) if pm.control( control, exists=True ): pm.control( control, edit=True, dropCallback=myModelEditorDropCallback ) except RuntimeError: pass
