Detailed Description

Array of doubles data type.

This class implements an array of doubles. Common convenience functions are available, and the implementation is compatible with the internal Maya implementation so that it can be passed efficiently between plugins and internal maya data structures.

Methods that query the array are threadsafe. Writing to different array elements at the same time with the set() method is threadsafe. Methods that modify the array length, namely append(), insert(), remove() and setLength() are not threadsafe.

Examples:

blindDataShader.cpp, closestPointOnCurveCmd.cpp, closestPointOnNurbsSurfaceCmd.cpp, clothPaintAttrCmd.cpp, clusterWeightFunction.cpp, dynExprField.cpp, dynExprField.h, exportSkinClusterDataCmd.cpp, fullLoftNode.cpp, hairCollisionSolver.cpp, helixCmd.cpp, helixTool.cpp, intersectOnNurbsSurfaceCmd.cpp, motionTraceCmd.cpp, moveNumericTool.cpp, particleAttrNode.cpp, particlePathsCmd.cpp, pfxInfoCmd.cpp, pointOnMeshCmd.cpp, shellNode.cpp, simpleEmitter.cpp, simpleEmitter.h, simpleFluidEmitter.cpp, simpleLoftNode.cpp, simpleSolverNode.cpp, surfaceCreate.cpp, surfaceCreateCmd.cpp, torusField.cpp, torusField.h, and XmlGeometryCache.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Default constructor.

The instance is set to contain no elements.

MDoubleArray ( const MDoubleArray other )

Copy Constructor.

Parameters:
[in] other the array with which to initialize this instance
MDoubleArray ( const double  src[],
unsigned int  count 
)

Create a new array of doubles and initialize it with the given double elements.

Parameters:
[in] src a C++ array of doubles
[in] count the number of elements in the src array
MDoubleArray ( const float  src[],
unsigned int  count 
)

Create a new array of doubles and initialize it with the given float elements.

Parameters:
[in] src a C++ array of floats
[in] count the number of elements in the src array
MDoubleArray ( unsigned int  initialSize,
double  initialValue = 0 
)

Create a new array of doubles of a specified size and initialize all the elements with the given initial value.

Parameters:
[in] initialSize the initial size of the array
[in] initialValue the initial value of each element

Member Function Documentation

MDoubleArray & operator= ( const MDoubleArray other )

Assignment operator copies all of the elements of the other array into this one.

If the other array was returned as a reference to internal data (eg MFnDoubleArrayData::array), then this array will also become a reference rather than doing a full copy.

Parameters:
[in] other the array being copied
Returns:
A reference to this array
MStatus set ( double  element,
unsigned int  index 
)

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated double value.

NOTE: This method does not grow the array if the index is out of bounds. Only a valid index should be used.

Parameters:
[in] element the new value for the indicated element
[in] index the index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
Examples:
simpleSolverNode.cpp.
MStatus set ( float  element,
unsigned int  index 
)

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated float value.

NOTE: This method does not grow the array if the index is out of bounds. Only a valid index should be used.

Parameters:
[in] element the new value for the indicated element
[in] index the index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus setLength ( unsigned int  length )

Set the length of the array.

This will grow and shrink the array as desired. Elements that are grown have uninitialized values, while those which are shrunk will lose the data contained in the deleted elements (ie. it will release the memory).

Parameters:
[in] length the new size of the array
Examples:
particleAttrNode.cpp, simpleFluidEmitter.cpp, and XmlGeometryCache.cpp.
unsigned int length ( ) const

Returns the number of elements in the instance.

Returns:
The number of elements in the instance
Examples:
blindDataShader.cpp, dynExprField.cpp, moveNumericTool.cpp, particleAttrNode.cpp, pfxInfoCmd.cpp, simpleFluidEmitter.cpp, and XmlGeometryCache.cpp.
MStatus remove ( unsigned int  index )

Remove the array element at the given index.

All array elements following the removed element are shifted toward the first element.

Parameters:
[in] index index of the element to be removed
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the remove was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus insert ( double  element,
unsigned int  index 
)

Inserts a new value into the array at the given index.

The initial element at that index, and all following elements, are shifted towards the last. If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the insert will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters:
[in] element the new value to insert into the array
[in] index the index of the element to set to the the new value
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the insert was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
Examples:
particlePathsCmd.cpp.
MStatus append ( double  element )

Adds a new element to the end of the array.

If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the append will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters:
[in] element the value for the new last element
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the append was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
Examples:
closestPointOnCurveCmd.cpp, clusterWeightFunction.cpp, fullLoftNode.cpp, helixCmd.cpp, helixTool.cpp, motionTraceCmd.cpp, particlePathsCmd.cpp, pointOnMeshCmd.cpp, simpleEmitter.cpp, simpleLoftNode.cpp, surfaceCreate.cpp, and surfaceCreateCmd.cpp.
MStatus copy ( const MDoubleArray source )

Copy the contents of the source array to this array.

Parameters:
[in] source array to copy from
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the copy was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus clear ( )

Clear the contents of the array.

After this operation the length method will return 0. This does not change the amount of memory allocated to the array, only the number of valid elements in it.

MStatus get ( double  array[] ) const

Copy the elements of the array into the given C++ array of doubles.

No checking is done to ensure that the destination C++ array of doubles is large enough to hold all the elements of the instance.

Parameters:
[out] array the array to populate
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the array argument is a non-zero pointer and MS::kFailure otherwise
MStatus get ( float  array[] ) const

Copy the elements of the array into the given C++ array of floats.

No checking is done to ensure that the destination C++ array of floats is large enough to hold all the elements of the instance.

Parameters:
[out] array the array to populate
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the array argument is a non-zero pointer and MS::kFailure otherwise
void setSizeIncrement ( unsigned int  newIncrement )

Set the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Parameters:
[in] newIncrement the new increment
unsigned int sizeIncrement ( ) const

Return the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Returns:
The size increment.
double & operator[] ( unsigned int  index )

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Index operator allowing assignment to an element of the array.

Returns a reference to the element at the given index. No range checking is done - valid indices are 0 to length()-1.

Parameters:
[in] index the index of the desired element
Returns:
A reference to the indicated element
double operator[] ( unsigned int  index ) const

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Index operator.

Returns the value of the element at the given index. No range checking is done - valid indices are 0 to length()-1.

[in] index the index of the element whose value is to be returned
Returns:
The value of the indicated element.
const char * className ( ) [static]

Returns the name of this class.
