pymel.core.system.dagObjectCompare

dagObjectCompare(*args, **kwargs)

dagObjectCompare can be used to compare to compare objects based on: type - Currently supports transform nodes and shape nodesrelatives - Compares DAG objects’ children and parentsconnections - Checks to make sure the two dags are connected to the same sources and destinationsattributes - Checks to make sure that the properties of active attributes are the same

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
attribute (a)		bool
	Compare dag object attributes
bail (b)		unicode
	Bail on first error or bail on category. Legal values are “never”, “first”, and “category”.
connection (c)		bool
	Compare dag connections
namespace (n)		unicode
	The baseline namespace
relative (r)		bool
	dag relatives
short (s)		bool
	Compress output to short form (not as verbose)Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
type (t)		bool
	Compare based on dag object type

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.dagObjectCompare

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Compare two objects based on type and their relatives where one is in the namespace "base":
pm.dagObjectCompare( t=True, r=True, n="base" )
# Compare two objects based on their connections and attributes where one is in the namespace "base" , break on first error:
pm.dagObjectCompare( c=True, a=True, b="first")
# Compare two objects based on their type, connections, attributes, relatives and break on error while finishing current category:
pm.dagObjectCompare( t=True, r=True, c=True, a=True, b=True, category=True, n="base")
