#include "geometrySurfaceConstraint.h"

//
// DESCRIPTION:
//
// Produces the MPxConstraint node "geometrySurfaceConstraint" and MEL command "geometrySurfaceConstraint".

// This example demonstrates how to use the MPxConstraint and MPxConstraintCommand classes to create a 
// geometry constraint. This type of constraint will keep the constrained object attached to the target 
// as the target is moved. The constrained object can be constrained to one of multiple targets.
// You can choose to constrain to the target of the highest or lowest weight.
//
// To use this plug-in, first load it and then execute:
//
//  loadPlugin geometrySurfaceConstraint;
//
//  1. cylinder constrained to plane
//  file -f -new;
//  polyPlane -w 1 -h 1 -sx 10 -sy 10 -ax 0 1 0 -cuv 2 -ch 1;
//  scale -r 15 15 15;
//  polyCylinder -r 1 -h 2 -sx 20 -sy 1 -sz 1 -ax 0 1 0 -rcp 0 -cuv 3 -ch 1;
//  select -cl;
//  select -r pPlane1 pCylinder1;
//  geometrySurfaceConstraint -weight 1;
//
//  2. cylinder constrained to one of two planes
//  depending on plane weight
//  file -f -new;
//  polyPlane -w 1 -h 1 -sx 10 -sy 10 -ax 0 1 0 -cuv 2 -ch 1;
//  scale -r 10 10 10;
//  polyPlane -w 1 -h 1 -sx 10 -sy 10 -ax 0 1 0 -cuv 2 -ch 1;
//  scale -r 15 15 15;
//  polyCylinder -r 1 -h 2 -sx 20 -sy 1 -sz 1 -ax 0 1 0 -rcp 0 -cuv 3 -ch 1;
//  select -cl;
//  select -r pPlane1 pPlane2 pCylinder1;
//  geometryConstraint -weight 1.0;
//  change plane weight to move constrained object
//  geometryConstraint -e -w 10.0 pPlane2 pCylinder1;
//
