// DESCRIPTION:
//
// Produces the MEL command "scanDag".
//
// This plug-in demonstrates walking the DAG using the DAG iterator class.
//
// To use it:
// (1) Create a number of objects anywhere in the scene.
// (2) Execute the command "scanDag". This will traverse the DAG printing
// information about each node it finds to the window from which you
// started Maya.
//
// The plug-in contains specific knowledge of cameras, lights, and NURBS surfaces,
// and will print object type specific information for each of these.
//
// The command accepts several flags:
//
// -b/-breadthFirst : Perform breadth first search
// -d/-depthFirst : Perform depth first search
// -c/-cameras : Limit the scan to cameras
// -l/-lights : Limit the scan to lights
// -n/-nurbsSurfaces : Limit the scan to NURBS surfaces
