# DESCRIPTION:
#
# Produces the dependency graph node "spCustomImagePlane".  
#
# Demonstrates how to create your own custom image plane based on
# Maya's internal image plane classes. This allows API users to
# override the default Maya image plane behavior. This class works
# like typical API nodes in that it can have a compute method and
# can contain static attributes added by the API user. This
# example class overrides the default image plane behavior and
# allows users to add transparency to an image plane using the
# transparency attribute on the node. Note that this code also 
# illustrates how to use MImage to control the floating point
# depth buffer. When useDepthMap is set to true, depth is added
# to the image such that half of the image is at the near 
# clip plane and the remaining half is at the far clip plane. 
#
# Once the image plane node has been created, you must
# attach it to the camera shape that is displaying the node.
# Image planes are attached to cameras using the imagePlane message
# attribute on the camera shape. To attach this example image
# plane, you must connect the image plane's message attribute to
# the cameraShapes imagePlane attribute.  Note that the imagePlane
# attribute is a multi attribute and can hold references to
# multiple image planes.
#
# This example works only with renderers that use node evaluation
# as a part of the rendering process like Maya. It does 
# not work with renderers that rely on a scene translation mechanism like
# mental ray.
#
# To use, run the following:
#
#   import maya
#   maya.cmds.loadPlugin("customImagePlane.py")
#   imageP = maya.cmds.createNode("spCustomImagePlane")
#   maya.cmds.connectAttr( imageP + ".message", "perspShape.imagePlane[0]", force = True )
#
# Then, assign an image to the customImagePlane node.
