Detailed Description

PointOnSurfaceManip function set.

The PointOnSurfaceManip allows the user to manipulate a point constrained to move along a surface, in order to specify the (u, v) surface parameter values. This manipulator generates two floating point values corresponding to the surface (u, v) parameters.

Examples:

surfaceBumpManip/surfaceBumpManip.cpp.

		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = NULL
	)

Constructor.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given constant MDagPath object.

Parameters

[in]	object	The const MDagPath to attach the function set to
[out]	ReturnStatus	The return status

Status Codes:

• MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
• MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject

MFnPointOnSurfaceManip	(	const MObject &	object,
		MStatus *	ReturnStatus = NULL
	)

Constructor.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.

Parameters

[in]	object	The MObject to attach the function set to
[out]	ReturnStatus	the return status

Status Codes:

• MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
• MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject
