Member Function Documentation

MFn::Type MFnIkJoint::type (  )  const [virtual]

Function set type.

Return the class type : MFn::kJoint

Reimplemented from MFnTransform.

const char * MFnIkJoint::className (  )  const [protected, virtual]

Class name.

Return the class name : "MFnIkJoint"

Reimplemented from MFnTransform.

MObject MFnIkJoint::create ( MObject  parent = MObject::kNullObj,
MStatus ReturnStatus = NULL 
)

Create a new joint in a skeleton. In maya, skeletons are defined entirely by DAG hierarchy. So, giving the joint you want to attach to as a parent will add this joint to that skeleton.

Parameters:
[in] parent the parent object for this in the dag. A value of NULL specifies the world dag node as parent.
[out] ReturnStatus Status Code (see below)
Returns:
The parent transform of the new joint
Status Codes:

Reimplemented from MFnTransform.

MStatus MFnIkJoint::getOrientation ( MQuaternion quaternion  )  const

Get the joint orientation. This corresponds to the jointOrient attribute on the joint, which is stored internally as a quaternion. It is different from the rotation orientation defined in the transform node. Modifying the jointOrient changes the coordinate axes, which affects how scaling a joint behaves.

Parameters:
[out] quaternion the quaternion representing the jointOrient
Returns:
Status code (see below)
Status Codes:
  • MS::kSuccess The orientation was successfully returned
  • MS::kFailure This function set has not been attached to a valid object

MStatus MFnIkJoint::setOrientation ( const MQuaternion quaternion  ) 

Set the jointOrient value. This corresponds to the jointOrient attribute on the joint, which is stored internally as a quaternion. It is different from the rotation orientation defined in the transform node. Modifying the jointOrient changes the coordinate axes, which affects how scaling a joint behaves.
