// Example Plugin: lambertShader.cpp
//
// Produces dependency graph node LambertShader
// This node is an example of a Lambert shader and how to build a
// dependency node as a surface shader in Maya. The inputs for this node
// are many, and can be found in the Maya UI on the Attribute Editor for
// the node. The output attributes for the node are "outColor" and
// "outTransparency". To use this shader, create a lambertShader with
// Shading Group or connect the outputs to a Shading Group's
// "SurfaceShader" attribute.

// For local testing of nodes you can use any identifier between

// more permanent purposes, you should get a universally unique id from
// Autodesk Support. You will be assigned a unique range that you

MStatus status; // Status will be used to hold the MStatus value
// returned by each api function call. It is important
// to check the status returned by a call to aid in
// debugging. Failed API calls can result in subtle
// errors that can be difficult to track down, you may
// wish to use the CHECK_MSTATUS macro for any API
// call where you do not need to provide your own
// error handling.
//
// Attribute Initialization:
//
// create - The create function creates a new attribute for the
// node, it takes a long name for the attribute, a short
// name for the attribute, the type of the attribute,
// and a status object to determine if the api call was
// successful.
//
// setKeyable - Sets whether this attribute should accept keyframe
// data, Attributes are not keyable by default.
//
// setStorable - Sets whether this attribute should be storable. If an
// attribute is storable, then it will be writen out
// when the node is stored to a file. Attributes are
// storable by default.
//
// setDefault - Sets the default value for this attribute.
//
// setUsedAsColor - Sets whether this attribute should be presented as
// a color in the UI.
//
// setHidden - Sets whether this attribute should be hidden from the
// UI. This is useful if the attribute is being used for
// blind data, or if it is being used as scratch space
// for a geometry calculation (should also be marked
// non-connectable in that case). Attributes are not
// hidden by default.
//
// setReadable - Sets whether this attribute should be readable. If an
// attribute is readable, then it can be used as the
// source in a dependency graph connection. Attributes
// are readable by default.
//
// setWritable - Sets whether this attribute should be readable. If an
// attribute is writable, then it can be used as the
// destination in a dependency graph connection. If an
// attribute is not writable then setAttr commands will
// fail to change the attribute. If both keyable and
// writable for an attribute are set to true it will be
// displayed in the channel box when the node is
// selected. Attributes are writable by default.
//
// setArray - Sets whether this attribute should have an array of
// data. This should be set to true if the attribute
// needs to accept multiple incoming connections.
// Attributes are single elements by default.
//
// Input Attributes
