arrayMapper([destAttr=string], [inputU=string], [inputV=string], [mapTo=string], [target=string], [type=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
arrayMapper is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
Create an arrayMapper node and connect it to a target object. If
the -type flag is used, then this command also creates an external
node used for computing the output values. If the input attribute
does not already exist, it will be created. The output attribute
must exists. If a flag is omitted, the selection list will be used
to supply the needed objects. If none are found, that action is
omitted.

Argument types |
Properties |
target(t) |
string |
  |
|
Specifies the target object to be connected to. |
|
destAttr(da) |
string |
|
|
Specifies the attribute which will be the downstream connection
for the output data from the mapper node. The attribute type will
be used to determine which output attribute to use: float array
gets outValuePP, vector array gets outColorPP. If the flag is
omitted, no output connection is made. |
|
inputU(iu) |
string |
|
|
Specifies the upstream attribute to connect to the mapper's
uCoordPP attribute. If the flag is omitted, no input connection is
made. |
|
inputV(iv) |
string |
|
|
Specifies the upstream attribute to connect to the mapper's
vCoordPP attribute. If the flag is omitted, no input connection is
made. |
|
type(ty) |
string |
|
|
Specifies the node type to create which will be used to compute
the output values. Currently, only ramp is valid. If the flag is
omitted, no connection is made and the external node is not
created. |
|
mapTo(mt) |
string |
|
|
Specifies an existing node to be used to compute the output
values. This node must be of the appropriate type. Currently, only
ramp nodes may be used. |

Flag can have multiple arguments, passed
either as a tuple or a list. |
