Detailed Description

The DistanceManip allows the user to manipulate a point that is constrained to move along a line. This manipulator generates a single floating point value. Scaling factors can be used to determine how the manipulator appears when it is drawn.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.__init__ ( )
Initialize self.  See help(type(self)) for accurate signature.

Member Function Documentation

def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.__new__ ( )
static
Create and return a new object.  See help(type) for accurate signature.
def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.connectToDistancePlug ( )
connectToDistancePlug(directionPlug) -> self

Connect to the distance plug. The data type corresponding to the distancePlug is a double. (Note that MFnUnitAttribute.kDistance is used to specify a distance attribute.)

* distancePlug (MPlug) - the distance plug
def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.create ( )
create(manipName=None, distanceName=None) -> MObject

Creates a new DistanceManip.
This function set's object is set to be the new manipulator.

This method should only be used to create a non-composite DistanceManip.

The name that appears in the feedback line is specified by the distanceName argument.

* manipName (string) - Name of the manip for UI purposes.
* distanceName (string) - Label for the distance value which appears in the feedback line.
def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.currentPointIndex ( )
currentPointIndex() -> int

Returns the index of the current point of the DistanceManip. The data type corresponding to this index is MFnNumericData.k3Double.
def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.directionIndex ( )
directionIndex() -> int

Returns the index of the direction. The data type corresponding to this index is MFnNumericData.k3Double.
def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.distanceIndex ( )
distanceIndex() -> int

Returns the index of the distance. The data type corresponding to this index is a double.
def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.setDirection ( )
setDirection(direction) -> self

Sets the direction of the DistanceManip.

* direction (MVector) - the direction of the DistanceManip
def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.setStartPoint ( )
setStartPoint(startPoint) -> self

Sets the start point of the DistanceManip.

* startPoint (MPoint) - the start point of the DistanceManip
def OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.startPointIndex ( )
startPointIndex() -> int

Returns the index of the start point of the DistanceManip. The data type corresponding to this index is MFnNumericData.k3Double.

Property Documentation

OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.isDrawLineOn = property(...)
static
 Whether or not to draw a line from the start to the end of the DistanceManip.
 By default the line is drawn.
OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.isDrawStartOn = property(...)
static
 Whether or not the start of the DistanceManip is being drawn.
 By default the start is not drawn.
OpenMayaUI.MFnDistanceManip.scalingFactor = property(...)
static
 The scaling factor is used to determine how int the DistanceManip appears when it is drawn.
 The default scaling factor is 1.0.
