MObject

Access to all Maya objects (curves, surfaces, DAG nodes, dependency graph nodes, lights, shaders, textures, etc.) is done through a handle object called an MObject. This handle provides a few simple methods to help determine the object type (see the MObject class documentation for a complete description). The MObject destructor does not delete the Maya object that it references—calling the destructor only deletes the handle object, thereby maintaining ownership.
