class counterpart of mel function transferAttributes
Samples the attributes of a source surface (first argument) and transfers them onto a target surface (second argument).
Add a new dynamic attibute to this node.
Parameters : |
|
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.addAttribute
Undo is not currently supported for this method
Allocates a node flag for sole use by the caller. Note that the flag is not specific to any one node but is made available to the caller on all nodes. Furthermore, node flags only persist for the duration of the current Maya session: they are not saved with the scene.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | int |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.allocateFlag
Finds the attribute of this node at the given index. Index order is based on the order in which the attributes were added to the node.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | PyNode |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.attribute
Returns the class (normal, dynamic, extension) of the specified attribute.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.attributeClass
Controls whether color borders are preserved when transferring color data. If this is non-zero, any color borders will be mapped onto the nearest edge on the target geometry. 0 means any color borders will be smoothly blended onto the vertices of the target geometry.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.transferAttributes
Deallocates all of the node flags which are currently allocated to the specified plugin. The deallocated flags immediately become available for use by any plugin.
Parameters : |
|
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.deallocateAllFlags
Undo is not currently supported for this method
Deallocates a node flag which was previously allocated by a call to allocateFlag . The flag subsequently becomes available for reallocation and use by someone else.
Parameters : |
|

Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.deallocateFlag
Undo is not currently supported for this method
Node callbacks that occur when timing is enabled get logged with the node and can be queried via this method. See the dgCallbackIds method for getting a further breakdown of the time for an individual callback on this node.
Parameters : |
|
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.dgCallbacks
Undo is not currently supported for this method
The function returns the specified timer value for the current node. This is the total amount of time spent performing the requested operation since the timer was last reset (see dgTimerReset() for details). There are numerous timers per node and these are referenced by the metric and the timer type.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | float |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.dgTimer
Indicates that this node should no longer collect DG timing data when DG timing is enabled. See dgTimerOn() and enableDGTiming() for more details. Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.dgTimerOff
Undo is not currently supported for this method
Indicates that this node should collect DG timing data whenever DG timing is enabled. See enableDGTiming() for more details. Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.dgTimerOn
Undo is not currently supported for this method
The function returns the current on/off state of the node’s timer.
Return type: | DependNode.MdgTimerState |
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.dgTimerQueryState
The function resets the dependency graph timers and counters for this node to zero. Note that this method does not start or stop timing, it only resets the values to zero. If you want to turn on timing, use the method dgTimerOn() . If you want to turn off timing, use dgTimerOff() . Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.dgTimerReset
Undo is not currently supported for this method
Retrieves the attribute with the given alias.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | (bool, PyNode) |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.findAlias
Attempt to find a plug for the given attribute. This method will first try to find the networked version of the plug if requested. The networked version of a plug is one that currently exists in the dependency graph at a particular connection point. If a networked version is not found, then a standard non-networked plug is returned.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | PyNode |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.findPlug
Controls how sampled UV data is flipped before being transferred to the target. 0 means no flipping; 1 means UV data is flipped in the U direction; 2 means UV data is flipped in the V direction; and 3 means it is flipped in both directions. In conjunction with mirroring, this allows the creation of symmetric UV mappings (e.g. the left hand side of the character on one side of the UV map, the right hand side on the other).
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.transferAttributes
Returns an array of attributes that are affected by the attribute passed in. That is, when the given attribute, attr is marked dirty (changed) all the affectedAttributes attributes will also be marked dirty. For nodes defined in plug-ins this call returns all those attributes that were marked as being affected by the given one via the MPxNode::attributeAffects call.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | PyNode list |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.getAffectedAttributes
Returns an array of attributes that affect the attribute passed in, attr . That is, when one of the attributes in affectedByAttributes is marked dirty (changed) then attr will also be marked dirty. For nodes defined in plug-ins this call returns all those attributes that were marked as affecting the given one via the MPxNode::attributeAffects call.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | PyNode list |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.getAffectedByAttributes
Returns the node’s alias attribute, which is a special attribute used to store information about the node’s attribute aliases.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | PyNode |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.getAliasAttr
Returns a list of all attribute aliases for this node. The aliases are pairs of strings with the first being the alias and the second being the attribute’s real name.
Return type: | (bool, list list) |
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.getAliasList
Get all of the current connections to this node as an array of plugs.
Return type: | PyNode list |
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.getConnections
Returns the name of this node. Note that if the object the instance of this class is attached to is data instead of being in the graph (ie. the object was created by one of the MFn*Data function sets, or was passed to an MPxNode::compute function in a data block) then the name method will not work.
Return type: | unicode |
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.name
Returns true if the node already has an attribute with the given name.
Parameters : |
|
---|---|
Return type: | bool |

Indicates whether or not this node’s name is unique within the scene.
Return type: | bool |
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.hasUniqueName
Indicates whether or not this node came from a referenced file. If it did, the node will be marked as read-only in the scene and changes to the node’s attributes will be saved in the main scene file, not the referenced file from which the node came.
Return type: | bool |
---|
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.isFromReferencedFile
Indicates whether or not the specified attribute was added to this node within the current scene.
Parameters : |

---|---|
Return type: | bool |
Derived from api method maya.OpenMaya.MFnDependencyNode.isNewAttribute
When using topological component matching, selects between possible matches. If the meshes involved in the transfer operation have symmetries in their topologies, there may be more than one possible topological match. Maya scores the possible matches (by comparing the shapes of the meshes) and assigns them an index, starting at zero. Match zero, the default, is considered the best, but in the event that Maya chooses the wrong one, changing this value will allow the user to explore the other matches.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
Derived from mel command maya.cmds.transferAttributes
Returns the alias for the plug’s attribute or the empty string if that attribute has no alias.
