Detailed Description

Function set for reference nodes.

Method resolution order:
-   MFnReference
-   MFnDependencyNode
-   MFnBase
-   builtins.object

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def OpenMaya.MFnReference.__init__ ( )
Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Member Function Documentation

def OpenMaya.MFnReference.__new__ ( )
static
Create and return a new object.  See help(type) for accurate signature.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.associatedNamespace ( )
associatedNamespace(bool shortName) -> MString

Returns the namespace associated with this reference.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.containsNode ( )
containsNode(MObject) -> bool

Returns true if the specified node is from this reference or one of its child references. The containsNodeExactly method can be used to test membership without including the child references.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.containsNodeExactly ( )
containsNodeExactly(MObject) -> bool

Returns true if the specified node is from this reference. Membership in child references is not checked. The containsNode method may be used to test membership in a reference and its child references.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.fileName ( )
fileName(bool resolvedName, bool includePath, bool includeCopyNumber) -> MString

Returns the name of file associated with this reference.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.ignoreReferenceEdits ( )
static
ignoreReferenceEdits() -> bool

Indicates whether reference edits will be tracked and logged or not.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.isExportEditsFile ( )
isExportEditsFile() -> bool

Returns true if the reference is an export edits file. An export edits file is a file of type '.editMA' or '.editMB' which was created using Maya's offline file functionality.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.isLoaded ( )
isLoaded() -> bool

Returns true if the reference is loaded.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.isLocked ( )
isLocked() -> bool

Returns true if the reference is locked or if the referenced file was saved as locked.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.isValidReference ( )
isValidReference() -> bool

Returns true if the reference is an valid file reference.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.nodes ( )
nodes() -> MObjectArray

Returns an array of the nodes associated with this reference.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.parentAssembly ( )
parentAssembly() -> MObject

Returns the parent assembly node that contains this reference. See MFnAssembly documentation for more details.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.parentFileName ( )
parentFileName(bool resolvedName, bool includePath, bool includeCopyNumber) -> MString

Returns the name of parent file associated with this reference.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.parentReference ( )
parentReference() -> MObject

Returns the reference node associated with the parent reference.
def OpenMaya.MFnReference.setIgnoreReferenceEdits ( )
static
setIgnoreReferenceEdits(bool) -> None

Specify whether reference edits should be tracked and logged or not.
This should be treated as a temporary state and should be enabled 
around a batch of operations where reference edits should be ignored.
Restore the previous value when the batch of operations is complete.
