Comprehensive C++ Hello World example

The Hello World example presented previously uses DeclareSimpleCommand(). This example is more comprehensive and more illustrative of how command plug-ins are typically coded.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <maya mstring.h>
#include <maya marglist.h>
#include <maya mfnplugin.h>
#include <maya mpxcommand.h>
#include <maya miostream.h>

class helloWorld : public MPxCommand
{
    public:
        MStatus doIt( const MArgList& args );
        static void* creator();
};

MStatus helloWorld::doIt( const MArgList& args ) {
    cout << "Hello World " << args.asString( 0 ).asChar() << endl;
    return MS::kSuccess;
}

void* helloWorld::creator() {
    return new helloWorld;
}

MStatus initializePlugin( MObject obj ) {
    MFnPlugin plugin( obj, "Autodesk", "1.0", "Any" );
    plugin.registerCommand( "HelloWorld", helloWorld::creator );
    return MS::kSuccess;
}

MStatus uninitializePlugin( MObject obj ) {
    MFnPlugin plugin( obj );
    plugin.deregisterCommand( "HelloWorld" );
    return MS::kSuccess;
}
