Detailed Description

An attribute specification.

Class that encapsulates component/attribute information for generating selection items.

This class is used by MPxSurfaceShape::matchComponent for validating attributes specified as strings and converting that specification to a component object.

The attribute specification ".foo.bar[3].x" would be expressed like this (using a pseudo-structure description):

    MAttributeSpecArray[0..3] {
        MAttributeSpec[0] {
            name      = "foo"
            dimension = 0
        }
        MAttributeSpec[1] {
            name      = "bar"
            dimension = 1
            MAttributeIndex[0] = {
                type      = kInteger
                isRange   = false
                isBounded = true
                value     = 3
            }
        }
        MAttributeSpec[2] {
            name      = "x"
            dimension = 0
        }
    }
Examples:

apiMeshShape.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

const MString MAttributeSpec::name (  )  const

Returns the attribute name part of the specification.

Returns:
The attribute name
Examples:

int MAttributeSpec::dimensions (  )  const

Returns the dimension of the attribute specification. For array attributes the dimension is > 0.

Returns:
The attributes dimension
Examples:

void MAttributeSpec::setName ( const MString name  ) 

Set the attribute name part of the specification.

Parameters:
[in] name the name to be set

void MAttributeSpec::setDimensions ( int  value  ) 

Set the dimension of the attribute specification. Array attribute dimensions are > 0.

Parameters:
[in] value the dimension value to be set

MAttributeSpec & MAttributeSpec::operator= ( const MAttributeSpec rhs  ) 

Assignment operator.

Parameters:
[in] rhs attribute specification to copy
Returns:
A reference to the copied MAttributeSpec object.

const MAttributeIndex MAttributeSpec::operator[] ( int  index  )  const

Returns an attribute index object for the specified element.

Parameters:
[in] index attribute index to return
Returns:
The MAttributeIndex associated with the given index.

bool MAttributeSpec::operator== ( const MAttributeSpec other  )  const

Comparison operator.

Parameters:
[in] other attribute specifier to be compared
Returns:
The boolean indicating whether the object are same or not.

MAttributeIndex MAttributeSpec::operator[] ( int  index  ) 

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Returns an attribute index object for the specified element.

Parameters:
[in] index attribute index to return
Returns:
The MAttributeIndex associated with the given index.
