Detailed Description

int array function set for dependency node data.

MFnVectorArrayData allows the creation and manipulation of MVectorArray data objects for use in the dependency graph.

If a user written dependency node either accepts or produces MVectorArrays, 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 kVectorArray 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 MFnVectorArrayData.

Examples:
AbcBullet/AttributesWriter.cpp, AbcExport/AttributesWriter.cpp, AbcImport/NodeIteratorVisitorHelper.cpp, dynExprField/dynExprField.cpp, ownerEmitter/ownerEmitter.cpp, particleAttrNode/particleAttrNode.cpp, simpleFluidEmitter/simpleFluidEmitter.cpp, and torusField/torusField.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MFnVectorArrayData ( 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
MFnVectorArrayData ( 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::kVectorArrayData.

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 : "MFnVectorArrayData".

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

Return the number of vectors in the instance.

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

Set the element at the specified index.

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.

Parameters
[in]elementthe element
[in]indexthe index of the vector to set
Returns
  • kSuccess operation successful
  • kFailure instance is not attached to an MObject
Examples:
particleAttrNode/particleAttrNode.cpp.
MStatus copyTo ( MVectorArray dest) const

Copy all the vectors in the instance into the given MVectorArray.

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

Set the instance to contain the vectors defined in the given MVectorArray.

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

Return an MVectorArray containing the vector array currently operated upon by the function set.

The MVectorArray 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 MVectorArray held in this instance
Examples:
particleAttrNode/particleAttrNode.cpp.
MObject create ( MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL)

Create a new MObject, attach it to this instance, and initialize it to be empty.

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

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

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

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Extract the indicated int 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 empty vector.

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

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Extract the indicated vector from the instance.

by the function set. The vector returned by this method is editable, so any changes to the returned 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 a zero vector.

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