pymel.core.general.createAttrPatterns¶

createAttrPatterns(*args, **kwargs)¶

Create a new instance of an attribute pattern given a pattern type (e.g. XML) and a string or data file containing the description of the attribute tree in the pattern’s format.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
patternDefinition / pd		unicode
	Hardcoded string containing the pattern definition, for simpler formats that don’t really need a separate file for definition.
patternFile / pf		unicode
	File where the pattern information can be found
patternType / pt		unicode
	Name of the pattern definition type to use in creating this instance of the pattern. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

import maya.cmds as cmds
pm.createAttrPatterns( patternType="xmlPattern", patternFile="patterns/patternFile.xml" )
// Result: [myXMLPattern] //
