enableLimit(type, flag)

Enable or disable the limit value for the specified limit type.

Parameters :

type : Transform.LimitType

type to apply a limit

values: ‘scaleMinX’, ‘scaleMaxX’, ‘scaleMinY’, ‘scaleMaxY’, ‘scaleMinZ’, ‘scaleMaxZ’, ‘shearMinXY’, ‘shearMaxXY’, ‘shearMinXZ’, ‘shearMaxXZ’, ‘shearMinYZ’, ‘shearMaxYZ’, ‘rotateMinX’, ‘rotateMaxX’, ‘rotateMinY’, ‘rotateMaxY’, ‘rotateMinZ’, ‘rotateMaxZ’, ‘translateMinX’, ‘translateMaxX’, ‘translateMinY’, ‘translateMaxY’, ‘translateMinZ’, ‘translateMaxZ’

getRotateOrientation(space)

Returns the rotation used to orient the local rotation space. For the precise mathematics, refer to the transformation matrix details in the description section of MFnTransform .

Parameters :

space : Space.Space

space in which to get the rotation orientation. This argument is currently ignored. The rotateOrientation is always returned in local space: MSpace::kTransform.

values: ‘transform’, ‘preTransform’, ‘object’, ‘world’

Return type:

Quaternion

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MSpace.rotateOrientation

getRotationQuaternion(space='transform')

Retrieve the rotation component of this transformation as a quaternion. The only valid transformation spaces for this method are MSpace::kTransform and MSpace::kWorld . All other spaces are treated as being equivalent to MSpace::kTransform .

Parameters :

space : Space.Space

transform space in which to get the rotation

values: ‘transform’, ‘preTransform’, ‘object’, ‘world’

Return type:

(float, float, float, float)

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MSpace.getRotationQuaternion

limitValue(type)

Determine the current value of the specified limit.

Parameters :

type : Transform.LimitType

type to query limit

values: ‘scaleMinX’, ‘scaleMaxX’, ‘scaleMinY’, ‘scaleMaxY’, ‘scaleMinZ’, ‘scaleMaxZ’, ‘shearMinXY’, ‘shearMaxXY’, ‘shearMinXZ’, ‘shearMaxXZ’, ‘shearMinYZ’, ‘shearMaxYZ’, ‘rotateMinX’, ‘rotateMaxX’, ‘rotateMinY’, ‘rotateMaxY’, ‘rotateMinZ’, ‘rotateMaxZ’, ‘translateMinX’, ‘translateMaxX’, ‘translateMinY’, ‘translateMaxY’, ‘translateMinZ’, ‘translateMaxZ’

Return type:

float

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnTransform.limitValue

rotateByQuaternion(x, y, z, w, space='transform')
