Detailed Description

Parent class of all user defined object sets.

MPxObjectSet is the parent class of all user defined sets.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OPENMAYA_MAJOR_NAMESPACE_OPEN MPxObjectSet ( )

Class constructor.

Any calls the MPxObjectSet methods must be done in the postConstructor method and not here.

Member Function Documentation

MPxNode::Type type ( ) const

overridevirtual

Returns the type of node that this is.

This is used to differentiate user defined nodes that are derived off different MPx base classes.

It is not necessary to override this method.

Returns: Type of the node (MPxNode::kObjectSet)

Reimplemented from MPxNode.

bool canBeDeleted ( bool isSrcNode )

virtual

A method that is called whenever a neighboring node is deleted, to check if this node should be deleted alongside or as a result of the neighboring node.

This method will not be called in the case where construction history is being deleted.

By default, the object set will be deleted when all of the following criteria are met:

The object set is not locked
The object set is deletable
No connections to usedByNodes exist.
No connections to dagSM and to DNSM, i.e., no members in the set.
No connection to groupNodes and to DNSM and no full dagObject members

It is not necessary to override this method.

Parameters

[in] isSrcNode True if this node is the source node of the connection to the neighboring node.

Returns

true Delete this node
false Do not delete this node

const char * className ( )

static

Returns the name of this class.

Returns: The name of this class.

Member Data Documentation

MObject dagSetMembers

static

Connections to this attribute specify the dagNodes or parts (components) of the same that are members of this set.

MObject memberWireframeColor

static

The index of a user defined color in which the dag object component members should appear.

A value of -1 disables use of the color. Values outside the range [-1,7] may give unpredictable results.

MObject verticesOnlySet

static

Is set membership restricted to objects with vertices? This attribute should not be explicitly changed by the user.

MObject edgesOnlySet

static

Is set membership restricted to objects with edges? This attribute should not be explicitly changed by the user.

MObject facetsOnlySet

static

Is set membership restricted to objects with facets? This attribute should not be explicitly changed by the user.

MObject editPointsOnlySet

static

Is set membership restricted to objects with edit points? This attribute should not be explicitly changed by the user.

MObject renderableOnlySet

static

Is set membership restricted to renderable objects only? This attribute should not be explicitly changed by the user.

MObject groupNodes

static

When parts (components) of dagNodes are in the set, connections are made to this attribute to hold references to groupId nodes, with the id uniquely identifying the group in the dagNode.
