Detailed Description

Array of MColor data type.

This class implements an array of MColor's. Common convenience functions are available, and the implementation is compatible with the internal Maya implementation so that it can be passed efficiently between plugins and internal maya data structures.

Examples:
AbcExport/MayaMeshWriter.cpp, AbcImport/MeshHelper.cpp, cvColorNode/cvColorNode.cpp, paintCallback/paintCallback.cpp, polyRawExporter/polyWriter.h, polyX3DExporter/polyWriter.h, and volumeLightCmd/volumeLightCmd.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

const MColor & operator[] ( unsigned int  index) const

Index operator.

Returns the value of the element at the given index. No range checking is done - valid indices are 0 to length()-1.

Parameters
[in]indexthe index of the element whose value is to be returned
Returns
The value of the indicated element.
MColorArray & operator= ( const MColorArray other)

Assignment operator copies all of the elements of the other array into this one.

If the other array was returned as a reference to internal data, then this array will also become a reference rather than doing a full copy.

Parameters
[in]otherthe array being copied
Returns
A reference to this array
MStatus set ( const MColor element,
unsigned int  index 
)

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated value.

Parameters
[in]elementthe new value for the indicated element
[in]indexthe index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus set ( unsigned int  index,
float  r,
float  g,
float  b,
float  a = 1 
)

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated values.

The r component of the element is set to r, the g component to g, the b component to b, and the a component to a.

Parameters
[in]indexthe index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
[in]rthe new value for the r component
[in]gthe new value for the g component
[in]bthe new value for the b component
[in]athe new value for the a component,defaulted to 1
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus set ( float  val[4],
unsigned int  index 
)

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated value.

The r component of the element is set to val[0], the g component to val[1], the b component to val[2], and the a component to val[3].

Parameters
[in]valthe new value for the indicated element
[in]indexthe index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus set ( float  elements[][4],
unsigned int  size 
)

Resets the values of the color components.

The length of the passed in C++ array should be same as the length of the ColorArray to which we are setting the values.

Parameters
[in]elementsC++ array of float arrays of length four.
[in]sizethe number of elements in the array.
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus set ( double  elements[][4],
unsigned int  size 
)

Resets the values of the color components.

The length of the passed in C++ array should be same as the length of the ColorArray to which we are setting the values.

Parameters
[in]elementsC++ array of double arrays of length four.
[in]sizethe number of elements in the array.
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus setLength ( unsigned int  length)

Set the length of the array.

This will grow and shrink the array as desired. Elements that are grown have uninitialized values, while those which are shrunk will lose the data contained in the deleted elements (ie. it will release the memory).

Parameters
[in]lengththe new size of the array
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the length was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
Examples:
cvColorNode/cvColorNode.cpp.
unsigned int length ( ) const

Returns the number of elements in the instance.

Returns
The number of elements in the instance
Examples:
AbcExport/MayaMeshWriter.cpp, and volumeLightCmd/volumeLightCmd.cpp.
MStatus remove ( unsigned int  index)

Remove the array element at the given index.

All array elements following the removed element are shifted toward the first element.

Parameters
[in]indexindex of the element to be removed
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the remove was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus insert ( const MColor element,
unsigned int  index 
)

Inserts a new value into the array at the given index.

The initial element at that index, and all following elements, are shifted towards the last. If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the insert will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters
[in]elementthe new value to insert into the array
[in]indexthe index of the element to set to the the new value
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the insert was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus append ( const MColor element)

Adds a new element to the end of the array.

If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the append will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters
[in]elementthe value for the new last element
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the append was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
Examples:
AbcExport/MayaMeshWriter.cpp, AbcImport/MeshHelper.cpp, and volumeLightCmd/volumeLightCmd.cpp.
MStatus append ( float  x,
float  y,
float  z,
float  w = 1 
)

Adds a new element to the end of the array.

The appended element has the indicated values for its x,y,z and w components. The x component of the element is set to x, the y component to y, the z component to z, and the w component to w.

If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the append will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters
[in]xthe value for the x component
[in]ythe value for the y component
[in]zthe value for the z component, defaulted to 0
[in]wthe value for the w component, defaulted to 1
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the append was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus copy ( const MColorArray source)

Copy the contents of the source array to this array.

Parameters
[in]sourcearray to copy from
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the copy was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus clear ( )

Clear the contents of the array.

After this operation the length method will return 0. This does not change the amount of memory allocated to the array, only the number of valid elements in it.

Returns
MS::kSuccess if the operation is successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus get ( float  dest[][4]) const

Copy the elements of the array into the C++ array of float arrays.

No checking is done to ensure that the destination C++ array of float arrays is large enough to hold all the elements of the instance.

Parameters
[out]destthe array to populate
Returns
MS::kSuccess if the array argument is a non-zero pointer and MS::kFailure otherwise
void setSizeIncrement ( unsigned int  newIncrement)

Set the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Parameters
[in]newIncrementthe new increment

Return the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Returns
The size increment.
MColor & operator[] ( unsigned int  index)

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.
