Detailed Description

Point array function set for dependency node data.

MFnPointArrayData allows the creation and manipulation of MPointArray data objects for use in the dependency graph.

If a user written dependency node either accepts or produces MPointArrays, then this class is used to extract or create the data that comes from or goes to other dependency graph nodes. The MDataHandle::type method will return kPointArray when data of this type is present. To access it, the MDataHandle::data method is used to get an MObject for the data and this should then be used to initialize an instance of MFnPointArrayData.

Examples:
AbcBullet/AttributesWriter.cpp, AbcExport/AttributesWriter.cpp, AbcImport/NodeIteratorVisitorHelper.cpp, basicBlendShape/basicBlendShape.cpp, basicBlendShapeDeformer/basicBlendShapeDeformer.cpp, and cvColorNode/cvColorNode.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MFnPointArrayData ( 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
MFnPointArrayData ( const 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

Member Function Documentation

MFn::Type type ( ) const
virtual

Function set type.

Return the class type : MFn::kPointArrayData.

Returns
the class type.

Reimplemented from MFnData.

OPENMAYA_MAJOR_NAMESPACE_OPEN const char * className ( )
static

Returns the name of this class.

Return the class name : "MFnPointArrayData".

Returns
Name of this class.
unsigned int length ( MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL) const

Return the number of points in the instance.

Parameters
[out]ReturnStatuskFailure if the instance is not attached to an MObject, and kSuccess otherwise.
Returns
The number of points in the instance
Examples:
AbcBullet/AttributesWriter.cpp, and AbcExport/AttributesWriter.cpp.
MStatus set ( MPoint element,
unsigned int  index 
)

Set the point element at the specified index.

Parameters
[in]elementthe element to be set
[in]indexthe index of the MPoint to set
Returns
  • kSuccess operation successful
  • kFailure instance is not attached to an MObject
MStatus copyTo ( MPointArray dest) const

Copy all the points in the instance into the given MPointArray.

No checking is done by this class on sizes, so it is up to the user to ensure that the given MPointArray is large enough to hold the number of MPoints in the instance.

Parameters
[out]destthe MPointArray to populate
Returns
  • kSuccess operation successful
  • kFailure instance is not attached to an MObject
MStatus set ( const MPointArray array)

Set the instance to contain the points defined in the given MPointArray.

Parameters
[in]arraythe MPointArray containing the data to set into this instance
Returns
  • kSuccess operation successful
  • kFailure instance is not attached to an MObject
MPointArray array ( MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL)

Get an MPointArray containing the points stored in this instance.

The MPointArray returned by this method is editable, so any changes to the return instance also affects the MObject operated upon by this function set.

Parameters
[out]ReturnStatuskFailure if the instance is not attached to an MObject, and kSuccess otherwise.
Returns
A copy of the MPointArray held in this instance
Examples:
basicBlendShape/basicBlendShape.cpp, and basicBlendShapeDeformer/basicBlendShapeDeformer.cpp.
MObject create ( MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL)

Create a new MObject, attach it to this instance, and initialize it to contain no points.

Parameters
[out]ReturnStatuskSuccess
Returns
The newly created MObject
Examples:
AbcImport/NodeIteratorVisitorHelper.cpp, and cvColorNode/cvColorNode.cpp.
MObject create ( const MPointArray arr,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
)

Create a new MObject, attach it to this instance, and initialize it to contain the data from the given MPointArray.

Parameters
[in]arrthe data to use when initializing this instance
[out]ReturnStatuskSuccess
Returns
The newly created MObject
MPoint & operator[] ( unsigned int  index)

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Extract the indicated MPoint from the instance.

The MPoint returned by this method is editable, so any changes to the return instance also affects the MObject operated upon by this function set.

No checking is done by this class to ensure that the index is valid - use the length method to determine the size of the array. If the instance is not attached to an MObject, this method will return an MPoint containing (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0).

Parameters
[in]indexthe index of the MPoint to extract
Returns
The indicated MPoint
const MPoint & operator[] ( unsigned int  index) const

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Extract the indicated MPoint from the const instance.

No checking is done by this class to ensure that the index is valid - use the length method to determine the size of the array. If the instance is not attached to an MObject, this method will return an MPoint containing (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0).

Parameters
[in]indexthe index of the MPoint to extract
Returns
The indicated MPoint
