pymel.core.windows.panelConfiguration

static windows.panelConfiguration(*args, **kwargs)

This command creates a panel configuration object. Typically you would not call this method command directly. Instead use the Panel Editor. Once a panel configuration is created you can make it appear in the main Maya window by selecting it from any panel’s Panels-Saved Layoutsmenu.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
addPanel (ap) bool, unicode, unicode, unicode, unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Adds the specified panel to the configuration. Arguments are: isFixed, label string, type string, create string, edit string.
configString (cfs) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Specifies the string that arranges the panels.
createStrings (cs) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Returns an string array of the panel creation strings.
defaultImage (di) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif
 

The default image for this configuration. Once the default image is set it may not be changed. If an image is set with the -i/imageflag then it’s value will take precedence.

defineTemplate (dt) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 

Puts a command in a mode where any other flags and args are parsed and added to the command template specified in the argument. They will be used as default arguments in any subsequent invocations of the command when templateName is set as the current template.

editStrings (es) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Returns an string array of the panel edit strings. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
exists (ex) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Returns true|false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
image (i) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
The user specified image for this configuration. Use this flag to override the default image.
isFixedState (isFixedState) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Returns an integer array of whether the panels have fixed states or not.
label (l) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Configuration label.
labelStrings (ls) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Returns an string array of the panel labels.
numberOfPanels (np) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 
Returns the number of panels in the configuration.
removeAllPanels (rap) bool ../../../_images/edit.gif

Replaces the specified panel in the configuration. Arguments are: index, isFixed, label string, type string, create string, edit string. The index is 1 based.
replaceTypeString (rts) int, unicode ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Replaces the specified type string. The index is 1 based.
sceneConfig (sc) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
