Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Print all active deformation chains.
cmds.deformerEvaluator( chains=True )

// Print a chain for each mesh or a reason it is not supported
cmds.deformerEvaluator( meshes=True )

// For each selected node print the chain or a reason it is not supported
cmds.deformerEvaluator( );

// Prints less information about meshes
cmds.deformerEvaluator( meshes = True, verbose = False);
