MFnDirectionManip Class Reference

#include <MFnDirectionManip.h>

Class Description

DirectionManip function set.

The DirectionManip allows the user to specify a direction, as defined by the vector from the start point to the manipulator position. It uses a FreePointTriadManip to specify the end point of a vector relative to a given start point. This manipulator generates a vector from the start point to the end point.

MObject create ( MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL)

Creates a new DirectionManip.

This function set's object is set to be the new manipulator.

This method should only be used to create a non-composite DirectionManip.

The name that appears in the feedback line is "direction"

Parameters
[out]ReturnStatusreturn status
Returns
Newly created DirectionManip
Status Codes:
MObject create ( const MString manipName,
const MString directionName,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
)

Creates a new DirectionManip.

This function set's object is set to be the new manipulator.

This method should only be used to create a non-composite DirectionManip.

The name that appears in the feedback line is specified by the directionName argument.

Parameters
[in]manipNameName of the manip for UI purposes.
[in]directionNameLabel for the direction value which appears in the feedback line.
[out]ReturnStatusStatus code.
Returns
Newly created DirectionManip.
Status Codes:
MStatus connectToDirectionPlug ( MPlug directionPlug)

Connect to the direction plug.

The data type corresponding to the directionPlug is MFnNumericData::k3Double.

Parameters
[in]directionPlugthe direction plug
Returns
+ Examples:
MStatus setNormalizeDirection ( bool  state)

Sets whether or not to the direction should be normalized.

By default the direction is normalized.

Parameters
[in]statewhether or not the direction should be normalized
Returns
MStatus setDrawStart ( bool  state)

Sets whether or not to draw the start of the DirectionManip.

The start of the DirectionManip is indicated by a grey dot. By default the start is not drawn.

Parameters
