Detailed Description

Create maya nodes based on their node description.

Function Documentation

def rfm2.maya_node.generic_get_files_to_archive	(		cls,
			shortName,
			unresolvedName,
			markCouldBeImageSequence
	)

Here is the caller graph for this function:

def rfm2.maya_node.generic_post_constructor

(

cls

)

This is where we will set the array parameters to their default
values.
A dynamic array may have a defaut initializer, like:
    float positions[] = {0.0, 0.5, 1.0} (OSL)
    default="[0.0 0.5 1.0]"             (ARGS)

Here is the call graph for this function:

Here is the caller graph for this function:

def rfm2.maya_node.init_from_desc	(		cls,
			desc
	)

Closure to return a fully configured initialize() static method.

Args:
    desc (NodeDesc): The node description object.

Returns:
    object: the configured static method.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

def rfm2.maya_node.initNumericAttribute	(		cls,
			param,
			datatype,
			plugtype
	)

Initialize a numeric attribute of type datatype, configure it based on
plugtype and adds it to the MPxNode.
By default, plugs are connectable unless specified otherwise in the node
description.

Args:
    param (NodeDescParam): The parameter description
    datatype (MFnNumericData): The exact attribute type (int, float, etc)
    plugtype (PlugType): indicate if this is an input or output plug.

Here is the call graph for this function:

def rfm2.maya_node.make_node_class

(

desc

)

Dynamically creates a new class (inheriting from MayaNode) for a
specific node type.
The class gets a bespoke initialize() and creator() static method. Later
on, we will be able to use the same method to add a compute() or VP2
drawing code.

Args:
    desc (NodeDesc): The full node description

Returns:
    object: the new class

Here is the call graph for this function:

def rfm2.maya_node.maya_useNewAPI

(

)

The presence of this function tells Maya that the plugin produces, and
expects to be passed, objects created using the Maya Python API 2.0.

def rfm2.maya_node.on_create	(		cmds,
			depnode
	)

Runs a python command after a node has been created. This is lauched
from the postConstructor.
Only use when you need to create additional nodes. Defaults should always
be set by the postConstructor.

Here is the call graph for this function:

def rfm2.maya_node.print_msg

(

msg

)

debug: print the contents of the om.MNodeMessage bit field.
