Flags:

• convertTag : ct (unicode) []

  Returns true if the object is the specified type or derives from an object that is of the specified type. This flag will only work with dependency nodes.

• isType : i (unicode) [create]

  Returns true if the object is exactly of the specified type. False otherwise.

• tagFromType : tgt (unicode) [create]

  Returns the type tag given a type name. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

• typeFromTag : tpt (int) [create]

  Returns the type name given an integer type tag.

• typeTag : tt (bool) [create]

  Returns an integer tag that is unique for that object type. Not all object types will have tags. This is the unique 4-byte value that is used to identify nodes of a given type in the binary file format.
