Member Function Documentation

bool IsA

(

siClassID

in_ClassID

)

const [virtual]

Returns true if a given class type is compatible with this API class.

Parameters:

in_ClassID

class type.

Returns:

true if the class is compatible, false otherwise.

Reimplemented from ProjectItem.

siClassID GetClassID

(

)

const [virtual]

Returns the type of the API class.

Returns:

The class type.

Reimplemented from ProjectItem.

PassContainer& operator=

(

const PassContainer &

in_obj

)

Creates an object from another object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input object is not compatible.

Parameters:

in_obj

constant class object.

Returns:

The new PassContainer object.

PassContainer& operator=

(

const CRef &

in_ref

)

Creates an object from a reference object. The newly created object is set to empty if the input reference object is not compatible.

Parameters:

in_ref

constant class object.

Returns:

The new PassContainer object.

Reimplemented from ProjectItem.

CRefArray GetPasses

(

)

const

Returns all passes associated with the scene.

Returns:

An array of references to the Pass objects.

See also:

Scene::GetActivePass PassContainer::AddPass Scene::GetPasses Scene::GetPassContainer

Pass GetCurrentPass CreatePass DeleteCurrentPass

CRefArray GetProperties

(

)

const

Returns all applied properties on the pass container.

Note:

All properties on the PassContainer are local properties, since it doesn't inherit any. Hence there is no corresponding GetLocalProperties member function for the PassContainer class.

Returns:

Array of references to Property objects.

Pass AddPass	(	const CString &	in_preset,
		const CString &	in_name
	)

Creates and adds a new Pass to the scene.

Parameters:

in_preset	Name of a PassPresets pass preset to apply to the new pass. The pass preset is optional. If no pass preset is supplied then a default, empty pass is created and added.
in_name	The name of the new Pass object.

Returns:

The new Pass object.

Property AddProperty	(	const CString &	in_preset,
		bool	in_bBranch = false,
		const CString &	in_name = CString()
	)

Creates and adds a property to a PassContainer object.

Parameters:

in_preset	This argument contains the filename or full path to a Preset file (see the PassPresets list of available pass presets ). The type of property that is created is determined by this argument. For example "CustomProperty" creates an empty CustomProperty and "UserDataMap" creates a UserDataMap. Is is also possible to specify the name of a CustomProperty that is installed as a PluginItem.
in_bBranch	True to apply property in branch; false to apply it on the node of the pass container.
in_name	The name of the new Property object (see SIObject::GetName). If not specified the name is derived from the in_preset argument.

Returns:

The new Property object.

PassContainer::AddCustomProperty, PassContainer::GetProperties, CustomProperty, UserDataMap, UserDataBlob, PluginRegistrar::RegisterProperty

CStatus AddCustomProperty	(	const CString &	in_name,
		bool	in_bBranch,
		CustomProperty &	out_customprop
	)

Creates and adds an empty CustomProperty to a PassContainer object.

Parameters:

in_name	Represents the name of the new CustomProperty object.
in_bBranch	True to apply property in branch; false to apply it on the node of the pass container.

Return values:

out_customprop

Returns the new property.

Returns:

CStatus::OK success

CStatus::Fail other failure
