getInterface Function

getInterface {<MAXWrapper> | <MAXClass>} <InterfaceNameString>      

getInterface returns the interface specified by the <InterfaceNameString>, or undefined if the interface does not exist.

If the first argument is a node, the node-level interfaces for that node are returned.

If you want the interfaces for the node's base object, you need to specify <node>.baseobject as the argument.

EXAMPLE

   s=sphere()
   --> $Sphere:Sphere01 @ [0.000000,0.000000,0.000000]
   theAInterface = getInterface s "IAssembly"
   --> <MixinInterface:IAssembly>
   converttopoly s
   --> $Editable_Poly:Sphere01 @ [0.000000,0.000000,0.000000]
   theEPInterface = getInterface s "EditablePoly"
   --> undefined
   theEPInterface = getInterface s.baseobject "EditablePoly"
   --> <MixinInterface:EditablePoly>

If the argument is a MAXClass, only static interfaces for that class are returned.

Typically, only utility plugin classes define static interfaces.

EXAMPLE

   getInterface Plug_in_Manager "PluginMgrAction"
   <Interface:PluginMgrAction>
