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 ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Compare dag object attributes
bail (b) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Bail on first error or bail on category. Legal values are “never”, “first”, and “category”.
connection (c) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Compare dag connections
namespace (n) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
The baseline namespace
relative (r) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
dag relatives
short (s) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
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 ../../../_images/create.gif
 
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")
