pymel.core.system.dagObjectCompare¶

dagObjectCompare(*args, **kwargs)¶

dagObjectCompare can be used to compare to compare objects based on: type - Currently supports transform nodes and shape nodesrelatives - Compares DAG objects’ children and parentsconnections - Checks to make sure the two dags are connected to the same sources and destinationsattributes - Checks to make sure that the properties of active attributes are the same

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
attribute / a		bool
	Compare dag object attributes
bail / b		unicode
	Bail on first error or bail on category. Legal values are never, first, and category.
connection / c		bool
	Compare dag connections
namespace / n		unicode
	The baseline namespace
relative / r		bool
	dag relatives
short / s		bool
	Compress output to short form (not as verbose)
type / t		bool
	Compare based on dag object type Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.dagObjectCompare

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Compare two objects based on type and their relatives where one is in the namespace "base":
pm.dagObjectCompare( t=True, r=True, n="base" )
# Compare two objects based on their connections and attributes where one is in the namespace "base" , break on first error:
pm.dagObjectCompare( c=True, a=True, b="first")
# Compare two objects based on their type, connections, attributes, relatives and break on error while finishing current category:
pm.dagObjectCompare( t=True, r=True, c=True, a=True, b=True, category=True, n="base")
