attributeInfo([allAttributes=boolean], [bool=boolean], [enumerated=boolean], [hidden=boolean], [inherited=boolean], [internal=boolean], [leaf=boolean], [logicalAnd=boolean], [multi=boolean], [short=boolean], [type=string], [userInterface=boolean], [writable=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
attributeInfo is NOT undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT editable.
This command lists all of the attributes that are marked with certain
flags. Combinations of flags may be specified and all will be considered.
(The method of combination depends on the state of the "logicalAnd/and" flag.)
When the "allAttributes/all" flag is specified, attributes of all
types will be listed.
| string[] | List of attributes matching criteria |

Argument types |
Properties |
allAttributes(all)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show all attributes associated with the node regardless of type.
Use of this flag overrides any other attribute type flags and logical operation
that may be specified on the command.
|
|
bool(b)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the attributes that are of type boolean.
Use the 'on' state to get only boolean attributes; the 'off' state
to ignore boolean attributes.
|
|
enumerated(e)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the attributes that are of type enumerated.
Use the 'on' state to get only enumerated attributes; the 'off' state
to ignore enumerated attributes.
|
|
hidden(h)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the attributes that are marked as hidden.
Use the 'on' state to get hidden attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-hidden attributes.
|
|
inherited(inherited)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Filter the attributes based on whether they belong to the node type directly
or have been inherited from a root type (e.g. meshShape/direct or
dagObject/inherited).
Use the 'on' state to get only inherited attributes, the 'off' state
to get only directly owned attributes, and leave the flag unspecified to
get both.
|
|
internal(i)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the attributes that are marked as internal to the node.
Use the 'on' state to get internal attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-internal attributes.
|
|
leaf(l)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the attributes that are complex leaves (ie. that have parent attributes
and have no children themselves).
Use the 'on' state to get leaf attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-leaf attributes.
|
|
logicalAnd(logicalAnd)
|
boolean
|
|
|
The default is to take the logical 'or' of the above conditions.
Specifying this flag switches to the logical 'and' instead.
|
|
multi(m)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the attributes that are multis.
Use the 'on' state to get multi attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-multi attributes.
|
|
short(s)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the short attribute names instead of the long names.
|
|
userInterface(ui)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the UI-friendly attribute names instead of the Maya ASCII names.
Takes precedence over the -s/-short flag if both are specified.
|
|
writable(w)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Show the attributes that are writable (ie. can have input connections).
Use the 'on' state to get writable attributes; the 'off' state
to get non-writable attributes.
|
|
type(t)
|
string
|
|
|
static node type from which to get 'affects' information
|
|
|
Flag can appear in Create mode of command
|
Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
|
Flag can appear in Query mode of command
|
Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
