Instance Methods

[hide private]

__new__(cls, *args, **kwargs)
Constructor for MObject derived types which only differ in a few parameters.

source code

addElements(self, *args)
Operates exactly as described in the MFn...IndexComponent documentation, but returns self to allow combined calls and on-the-fly component generation

source code

addElement(self, *args)

Method Details

new(cls, *args, **kwargs)

source code

Constructor for MObject derived types which only differ in a few parameters. Requires _base_cls_ and _mfn_suffix_ to be set on the respective class

return an attribute class of the respective type for given MObject

Parameters:

args - arg[0] is attribute's MObject to be wrapped.

Note: Custom constructors are not possible as __init__ is automatically called afterwards - MObject does not support anything but no args or another MObject.

create(cls, component_type)
Class Method

source code

Parameters:

component_type - MFn:: component type to be created.

Returns:

A new component instance carrying data of the given component type

Note: It is important that you call this function on the Component Class of a compatible type, or a RuntimeError will occour

getMFnType(cls)
Class Method

source code

Returns:: mfn type of this class

Note: the type returned is not the type of the shape component

addElements(self, *args)

source code

Operates exactly as described in the MFn...IndexComponent documentation, but returns self to allow combined calls and on-the-fly component generation

Returns:: self

addElement(self, *args)

source code

see addElements

Returns:: self

Note: do not use this function as it will be really slow when handling many items, use addElements instead
