Member Function Documentation

Returns the type of attribute index.

Valid index types are kInteger and kFloat.

Returns
The index type
bool hasRange ( ) const

Return true if a range was specified.

Note: false will be returned for an unbounded range which can be tested using the hasBound method.

Returns
Boolean indicating whether the range exists or not.
bool hasValidRange ( ) const

Return true if upper value is greater than lower value.

Returns
Boolean indicating whether the range is valid or not.
bool hasLowerBound ( ) const

Return true if if there is a lower bound specified.

Returns
Boolean to indicate if there is a lower bound.
Examples:
apiMeshShape/apiMeshShape.cpp.
bool hasUpperBound ( ) const

Return true if if there is an upper bound specified.

Returns
Boolean to indicate if there is an upper bound.
Examples:
apiMeshShape/apiMeshShape.cpp.
MStatus getLower ( int &  value) const

Return the lower bound for this object or false if 1) the type does not match the argument type or 2) there is no lower bound.

(both of which can be tested for using other methods on this class).

Parameters
[out]valuelower bound value is returned through this parameter.
Returns
  • MS::kSuccess the call was successful.
  • MS::kFailure method failed.
Examples:
apiMeshShape/apiMeshShape.cpp.
MStatus getLower ( double &  value) const

Return the lower bound for this object or false if 1) the type does not match the argument type or 2) there is no lower bound.

(both of which can be tested for using other methods on this class).

Parameters
[out]valuelower bound value is returned through this parameter.
Returns
  • MS::kSuccess the call was successful.
  • MS::kFailure method failed.
MStatus getUpper ( int &  value) const

Return the upper bound for this object or false if 1) the type does not match the argument type or 2) there is no upper bound.

(both of which can be tested for using other methods on this class).

Parameters
[out]valueupper bound value is returned through this parameter.
Returns
  • MS::kSuccess the call was successful.
  • MS::kFailure method failed.
Examples:
apiMeshShape/apiMeshShape.cpp.
MStatus getUpper ( double &  value) const

Return the upper bound for this object or false if 1) the type does not match the argument type or 2) there is no upper bound.

(both of which can be tested for using other methods on this class).

Parameters
[out]valueupper bound value is returned through this parameter.
Returns
  • MS::kSuccess the call was successful.
  • MS::kFailure method failed.
bool isBounded ( ) const

Returns true if this object is bounded.

Returns
  • boolean indicating if the object is bounded.
MStatus getValue ( int &  value) const

Return the current value of the index or false if 1) the type does not match the argument type or 2) the index is a range or 3) the index is unbounded.

Parameters
[out]valuevalue of the index is returned through this parameter.
Returns
  • MS::kSuccess the call was successful.
  • MS::kFailure method failed.
MStatus getValue ( double &  value) const

Return the current value of the index or false if 1) the type does not match the argument type or 2) the index is a range or 3) the index is unbounded.

Parameters
[out]valuevalue of the index is returned through this parameter.
Returns
  • MS::kSuccess the call was successful.
  • MS::kFailure method failed.

Sets the type of attribute index.

Valid index types are kInteger and kFloat.

Parameters
[in]typethe index type to set
Returns
  • MS::kSuccess the index type was set
  • MS::kFailure invalid index type specified
MStatus setValue ( int  value)

Sets the index value of this object.

Parameters
[in]valuethe value to set
Returns
  • MS::kSuccess the value was set
  • MS::kFailure error setting value
MStatus setValue ( double  value)

Sets the index value of this object.

Parameters
