vnnCompound(*args, **kwargs)¶

The vnnCompoundcommand is used to operate compound and its VNN graph. The first parameter is the full name of the DG node that contains the VNN graph. The second parameter is the name of the compound.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
addNode / an		unicode
	Add a node into the compound.
addStatePortUI / spu		bool
	Pop up a window to add iteration state port.
canResetToFactory / crf		unicode
	Query if the specified compound can be reset to its initial status.
connected / cn		bool
	Used with listNodesor listPortsto query the nodes or internal ports that have connections when the argument is true. If the arguments is false, return all nodes which have no connection. The other side of the connection could be another node or port.
connectedTo / ct		unicode
	Used with listNodesto query all nodes that connect to the specified ports.
connectedToInput / cti		bool
	Used with listNodesto query all nodes which connect to any input ports.
connectedToOutput / cto		bool
	Used with listNodesto query all nodes that connect to any output ports.
create / c		unicode
	Create a sub compound in the specified compound. The name of the created sub compound cannot be used before in the specified compound.
createInputPort / cip		unicode, unicode
	Create an input port in the compound. The first argument is the name of the port. The second argument is the data type of the port.
createOutputPort / cop		unicode, unicode
	Create an output port in the compound. The first argument is the name of the port. The second argument is the data type of the port.
deletePort / dp		unicode
	Delete a input or output port from the compound.
explode / ec		unicode
	Explode a specified compound and move the nodes from it to its parent.
inputPort / ip		bool
	Used with listPortsto query all internal ports which connect to any input ports in the compound.
listNodes / ln		bool
	List all nodes in the compound. Can be used with other flags, such as dataType, connectedToInputto query some specified nodes. The returned result is a list of node names.
listPortChildren / lpc		unicode
	List the children of specified port.
listPorts / lp		bool
	List all internal ports in the compound, including input and output ports. Can be used with other flags, such as output, connectedto query some specified ports.
moveNodeIn / mi		unicode
	Move the specified node into the compound.
movePort / mp		unicode, int
	Move a port to the specified index in the compound
nodeType / nt		unicode
	Used with listNodesto query all nodes which are specified node type in the compound.
outputPort / op		bool
	Used with listPortsto query all nodes which connect to any output ports in the compound.
portDefaultValue / pdv		unicode, unicode
	Set the default value to a specified port The port cannot be connected.
publish / pub		unicode, unicode, unicode, bool
	Used to publish the compound. The arguments are, in order, the file path where to save, the namespace where to store the compound, the name to use for the nodedef and whether or not the compound should be referenced upon publishing.
queryIsImported / qii		bool
	Query if the compound is imported.
queryIsReferenced / qir		bool
	Query if the compound is referenced.
queryMetaData / qmd		unicode
	Query the value(s) of a metadata.
queryPortDataType / qpt		unicode
	Query the data type of a specified port.
queryPortDefaultValue / qpv		unicode
	Query the default value of a specified port
queryPortMetaDataValue / qpm		unicode, unicode
	Query the metadata value of a specified port. The first argument is the port to query, the second is the type of metadata to query.
removeNode / rmn		unicode
	Remove the specified node from the compound.
renameNode / rn		unicode, unicode
	Rename a node in the compound. The first argument is the old name of the node. The second argument is the new name.
renamePort / rp		unicode, unicode
	Rename a port of the compound. The first argument is the old name of the port. The second argument is the new name.
resetToFactory / rtf		unicode
	Reset the specified compound to its initial status. The specified compound must be able to be reset.
saveAs / sa		unicode
	Used to export Compound in the Compound menu of the Node Editor. The argument is the file path to save.
setIsReferenced / sir		bool
	Change the referenced status of the compound. If -sir/setIsReferencedis true, the compound will be made public, else the compound will be made private to its parent compound.
setMetaData / smd		unicode, unicode
	Set the value of a metatada. The arguments are, in order, metadata name, metadata value to be set.
setPortDataType / spt		unicode, unicode
	Set the data type of a specified compound port.
setPortMetaDataValue / spm		unicode, unicode, unicode
	Set the metadata value of a specified compound port. The arguments are, in order, port name, metadata name, metadata value to be set.
specializedTypeName / stn		bool
	Used to query the specialized implementation class names such as Bifrost_DoWhile, or Compoundfor a normal compound Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
