setRenderPassType([defaultDataType=boolean],
[numChannels=int], [type=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
setRenderPassType is undoable, NOT queryable, and NOT
editable.
This command will set the passID of a renderPass node and create
the custom attributes specified by the corresponding render pass
definition. If the render pass node already has a passID assigned
to it, attributes that are no longer required become hidden, and
new attributes are unhidden and/or created as needed. This allows
passIDs to be changed back and forth without losing attribute data.
It also allows common attributes to be transported from one render
pass type to another.
