Detailed Description

The function-published interface for managing SimpleFaceData channels on an object.

This manager allows simple per-face data channels to be added, removed and retrieved from the specified editable mesh or poly object. This static function-published interface is registered as a core interface. Obtain a pointer to this interface with GetInterface() using its defined ID, SimpleFaceDataManger_InterfaceID. Functions provided by this interface can also be called through function-publish dispatching and through Maxscript.

Member Function Documentation

◆ AddChannel() [1/2]

virtual ISimpleFaceDataChannel* AddChannel ( Object pObj,
int  type,
const Class_ID pChannelID,
const MCHAR pChannelName 
) const
pure virtual

Add a simple per-face data channel to a geometry object (C++).

A new per-face data channel of the specified type with an identifying ID and name is added to specified object's base object. Per-face data channels are geometry pipeline clients - adding a channel to an object adds the channel throughout the entire modifier stack.

Parameters
[in]pObj- The target geometry object. Must be non-null. Only editable mesh and editable poly objects are currently supported.
[in]type- A ParamType or ParamType2 enum value that specifies the data type for all faces within the data channel. The current list of supported types is:
  • TYPE_INT
  • TYPE_INDEX
  • TYPE_BOOL
  • TYPE_FLOAT
  • TYPE_POINT2_BV
  • TYPE_POINT3_BV No channel is added if an unsupported type is specified.
[in]pChannelID- The identifying Class_ID of the new channel. Specify NULL to have a unique ID generated and assigned to the new channel. If an ID is specified, no channel is added if a channel with the specified ID already exists.
[in]pChannelName- The name of the new channel. Specify NULL to use a default channel name.
Returns
A pointer to the new channel instance if one was added. NULL if no channel was added.

◆ AddChannel() [2/2]

virtual ISimpleFaceDataChannel* AddChannel ( Object pObj,
int  type,
const Tab< DWORD > *  pChannelID,
const MCHAR pChannelName 
) const
pure virtual

Add a simple per-face data channel to the specified geometry object (Maxscript).

The maxscript exposed wrapper for AddChannel(). The only difference is that this channel ID is specified as a 2 element array of DWORDS.

See also
AddChannel (C++)

◆ RemoveChannel() [1/2]

virtual void RemoveChannel ( Object pObj,
const Class_ID channelID 
)
pure virtual

Remove a simple per-face data channel from a geometry object (C++).

Remove the per-face data channel on the specified object's base object that matches the specified channel ID. The channel is removed throughout the entire modifier stack.

Parameters
[in]pObj- The target geometry object. Must be non-null.
[in]channelID- The identifying Class_ID of the channel to remove.

◆ RemoveChannel() [2/2]

virtual void RemoveChannel ( Object pObj,
const Tab< DWORD > *  pChannelID 
)
pure virtual

Remove a simple per-face data channel from a geometry object (Maxscript).

The maxscript exposed wrapper for RemoveChannel(). The only difference is that the channel ID is specified as a 2 element array of DWORDS.

See also
RemoveChannel (C++)

◆ GetChannel() [1/2]

virtual ISimpleFaceDataChannel* GetChannel ( Object pObj,
const Tab< DWORD > *  pChannelID 
) const
pure virtual

Get a simple per-face data channel from a geometry object (C++).

Obtain a pointer to the per-face data channel on the specified object that matches the specified channel ID.

Parameters
[in]pObj- The target geometry object. Must be non-null.
[in]pChannelID- The identifying Class_ID of the channel to retrieve.
Returns
A pointer to the desired channel instance. NULL if a channel with the specified ID was not found.

◆ GetChannel() [2/2]

virtual ISimpleFaceDataChannel* GetChannel ( Object pObj,
const Class_ID channelID 
) const
pure virtual

Get a simple per-face data channel from a geometry object (Maxscript).

The maxscript exposed wrapper for GetChannel(). The only difference is that this channel ID is specified as a 2 element array of DWORDS.

See also
GetChannel (C++)

◆ GetChannels()

virtual Tab<ISimpleFaceDataChannel*> GetChannels ( Object pObj) const
pure virtual

Get all simple per-face data channels from a geometry object (C++, Maxscript).

Obtain an array of pointers to all simple per-face data channels on the specified object.

Parameters
[in]pObj- The target geometry object. Must be non-null.
Returns
An array of pointers to simple per-face data channels. An empty array if no channels were found.
