def OpenMayaRender.MGeometryUtilities.acquireReferenceGeometry ( )

static

acquireReferenceGeometry(shape, requirements) -> MGeometry

Acquire reference geometry with required buffers.

The user is responsible for releasing the geometry when it is no longer needed, by calling MGeometryUtilities::releaseReferenceGeometry().


* shape (int) - The shape of the requested geometry.
* requirements (MGeometryRequirements) - The list of required index and vertex buffers.

Valid geometry shapes:
  kDefaultSphere   Sphere with radius 1, centered at 0,0,0.
  kDefaultPlane    Plane with width and height of 1, centered at 0,0,0. Assuming Y-Up orientation: width = x-axis, and height = y-axis.
  kDefaultCube     Cube with width, height and depth of 1, centered at 0,0,0.

def OpenMayaRender.MGeometryUtilities.displayStatus ( )

static

displayStatus(path) -> DisplayStatus

Returns the display status of the given DAG path. Note that the last selected object will have status kLead
instead of kActive and if only one object is selected the status will be kLead.

* path (MDagPath) - The DAG path to get.

def OpenMayaRender.MGeometryUtilities.releaseReferenceGeometry ( )

static

releaseReferenceGeometry(geometry) -> None

Release a generated reference geometry.

* geometry (MGeometry) - The geometry to delete.

def OpenMayaRender.MGeometryUtilities.wireframeColor ( )

static

wireframeColor(path) -> MColor

Returns the wireframe color used in Viewport 2.0 for the given DAG path.

* path (MDagPath) - The DAG path to get wireframe color.
