pymel.core.windows.panel¶
- panel(*args, **kwargs)¶
This command allows editing or querying properties of any panels. Not all of the common properites of panels can be used with this command. Flags such as -tearOff and -replacePanel require that you use the explicit panel command. The command ‘getPanel -typeOf panelName’ will return the explicit type of a panel. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
Flags:
Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties control / ctl bool Returns the top level control for this panel. Usually used for getting a parent to attach popup menus. CAUTION: panels may not have controls at times. This flag can return if no control is present. copy / cp unicode Makes this panel a copy of the specified panel. Both panels must be of the same type. createString / cs bool defineTemplate / dt unicode 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. docTag / dtg unicode Attaches a tag to the Maya panel. editString / es bool exists / ex bool Returns whether the specified object exists or not. Other flags are ignored. init / init bool Initializes the panel’s default state. This is usually done automatically on file -new and file -open. isUnique / iu bool Returns true if only one instance of this panel type is allowed. label / l unicode Specifies the user readable label for the panel. menuBarVisible / mbv bool Controls whether the menu bar for the panel is displayed. needsInit / ni bool (Internal) On Edit will mark the panel as requiring initialization. Query will return whether the panel is marked for initialization. Used during file -new and file -open. parent / p unicode Specifies the parent layout for this panel. popupMenuProcedure / pmp script Specifies the procedure called for building the panel’s popup menu(s). The default value is buildPanelPopupMenu. The procedure should take one string argument which is the panel’s name. replacePanel / rp unicode Will replace the specified panel with this panel. If the target panel is within the same layout it will perform a swap. tearOff / to bool Will tear off this panel into a separate window with a paneLayout as the parent of the panel. When queried this flag will return if the panel has been torn off into its own window. tearOffCopy / toc unicode Will create this panel as a torn of copy of the specified source panel. unParent / up bool Specifies that the panel should be removed from its layout. This (obviously) cannot be used with query. useTemplate / ut unicode Force the command to use a command template other than the current one. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. Derived from mel command maya.cmds.panel
Example:
import pymel.core as pm MyLabel = 'My Panel' pm.window() # Result: ui.Window('window1') # pm.frameLayout( lv=0 ) # Result: ui.FrameLayout('window1|frameLayout18') # pm.modelPanel( l=MyLabel ) # Result: ui.ModelPanel('modelPanel6') # pm.showWindow() panels = pm.getPanel( all=True ) for panel in panels: if MyLabel == pm.panel( panel, q=True, label=True ): myPanel = panel print( 'Found: '+MyLabel )
