Detailed Description

Lattice function set.

MFnLattice is the function set for lattice shapes and lattice geometry. It can be used on lattices in the DAG or on lattice geometry from a dependency node attribute.

Lattices are most commonly used for specifying FFDs (free-form deformations). See MFnLatticeDeformer for more information on those.

MFnLatticeData can be used to create new lattice data objects for use with dependency node attributes.

Examples:
customComponentTagNode/customComponentTagNode.cpp, geometrytools.cpp, latticeNoise/latticeNoiseCmd.cpp, and latticeNoise/latticeNoiseNode.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~MFnLattice ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Class destructor.

MFnLattice ( MObject object,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
)

Constructor.

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

Parameters
[in]objectThe MObject to attach the function set to
[out]ReturnStatusthe 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
MFnLattice ( const MDagPath object,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
)

Constructor.

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

Parameters
[in]objectThe const MDagPath to attach the function set to
[out]ReturnStatusThe 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
MFnLattice ( const MObject object,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL

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

Parameters
[in]objectThe MObject to attach the function set to
[out]ReturnStatusthe return status
Status Codes:

Member Function Documentation

MFn::Type type ( ) const
virtual

Function set type.

Return the class type : MFn::kLattice.

Returns
the class type.

Reimplemented from MFnDagNode.

OPENMAYA_MAJOR_NAMESPACE_OPEN const char * className ( )
static

Returns the name of this class.

Return the class name : "MFnLattice".

Returns
Name of this class.
MObject create ( unsigned int  xDiv,
unsigned int  yDiv,
unsigned int  zDiv,
MObject  parentOrOwner = MObject::kNullObj,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
)

Create a new lattice.

This can be used to create either a new lattice shape in the DAG, or to place new lattice geometry into a dependency graph lattice data object. Lattice data objects can be created with MFnLatticeData or can be obtained from an MDataHandle in the compute method of a dependency node.

The parentOrOwner argument is used to specify the owner of the new lattice.

If parentOrOwner is a kLatticeData data wrapper (e.g. as returned by MFnLatticeData::create) then a new kLattice object will be created and placed inside the wrapper. No nodes will be created and the method will return the kLattice object.

If parentOrOwner is NULL then new lattice and transform nodes will be created and added to the DAG, with the lattice parented under the transform. The method will return the transform node.

If parentOrOwner is a DAG node then a new lattice node will be created and parented under that DAG node. The method will return the lattice node.

Parameters
[in]xDivLattice divisions in x (must be at least 2).
[in]yDivLattice divisions in y (must be at least 2).
[in]zDivLattice divisions in z (must be at least 2).
[in]parentOrOwnerParent node or data wrapper. See discussion above.
[out]ReturnStatusStatus code.
Returns
A handle to the new lattice data, lattice node or transform node. See the discussion of the parentOrOwner parameter above for more details.
Status Codes:
  • MS::kSuccess Operation successful.
  • MS::kFailure Unexpected failure.
  • MS::kInsufficientMemory Out of memory.
  • MS::kLicenseFailure Application not licensed for attempted operation.
