#include <MColorArray.h>

List of all members.


Detailed Description

Array of MColor data type.

This class implements an array of MColor's. Common convenience functions are available, and the implementation is compatible with the internal Maya implementation so that it can be passed efficiently between plugins and internal maya data structures.

Examples:

cvColorShader.cpp, meshRemapCmd.cpp, meshRemapCmd.h, meshReorderCmd.cpp, meshReorderCmd.h, polyWriter.h, and volumeLightCmd.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

const MColor & MColorArray::operator[] ( unsigned int  index  )  const

Index operator. Returns the value of the element at the given index. No range checking is done - valid indices are 0 to length()-1.

Parameters:
[in]  index  the index of the element whose value is to be returned
Returns:
The value of the indicated element.

MColorArray & MColorArray::operator= ( const MColorArray other  ) 

Assignment operator copies all of the elements of the other array into this one.

If the other array was returned as a reference to internal data, then this array will also become a reference rather than doing a full copy.

Parameters:
[in]  other  the array being copied
Returns:
A reference to this array

MStatus MColorArray::set ( const MColor element,
unsigned int  index  
)

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated value.

Parameters:
[in]  element  the new value for the indicated element
[in]  index  the index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::set ( unsigned int  index,
float  r,
float  g,
float  b,
float  a = 1  
)

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated values. The r component of the element is set to r, the g component to g, the b component to b, and the a component to a.

Parameters:
[in]  index  the index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
[in]  r  the new value for the r component
[in]  g  the new value for the g component
[in]  b  the new value for the b component
[in]  a  the new value for the a component,defaulted to 1
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::set ( float  val[4],
unsigned int  index  
)

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated value. The r component of the element is set to val[0], the g component to val[1], the b component to val[2], and the a component to val[3].

Parameters:
[in]  val  the new value for the indicated element
[in]  index  the index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::set ( float  elements[][4],
unsigned int  size  
)

Resets the values of the color components. The length of the passed in C++ array should be same as the length of the ColorArray to which we are setting the values.

Parameters:
[in]  elements  C++ array of float arrays of length four.
[in]  size  the number of elements in the array.
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::set ( double  elements[][4],
unsigned int  size  
)

Resets the values of the color components. The length of the passed in C++ array should be same as the length of the ColorArray to which we are setting the values.

Parameters:
[in]  elements  C++ array of double arrays of length four.
[in]  size  the number of elements in the array.
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::setLength ( unsigned int  length  ) 

Set the length of the array. This will grow and shrink the array as desired. Elements that are grown have uninitialized values, while those which are shrunk will lose the data contained in the deleted elements (ie. it will release the memory).

Parameters:
[in]  length  the new size of the array
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the length was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise
Examples:

unsigned int MColorArray::length (  )  const

Returns the number of elements in the instance.

Returns:
The number of elements in the instance
Examples:

MStatus MColorArray::remove ( unsigned int  index  ) 

Remove the array element at the given index. All array elements following the removed element are shifted toward the first element.

Parameters:
[in]  index  index of the element to be removed
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the remove was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::insert ( const MColor element,
unsigned int  index  
)

Inserts a new value into the array at the given index. The initial element at that index, and all following elements, are shifted towards the last. If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the insert will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters:
[in]  element  the new value to insert into the array
[in]  index  the index of the element to set to the the new value
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the insert was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::append ( const MColor element  ) 

Adds a new element to the end of the array. If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the append will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters:
[in]  element  the value for the new last element
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the append was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise
Examples:

MStatus MColorArray::append ( float  x,
float  y,
float  z,
float  w = 1  
)

Adds a new element to the end of the array. The appended element has the indicated values for its x,y,z and w components. The x component of the element is set to x, the y component to y, the z component to z, and the w component to w.

If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the append will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters:
[in]  x  the value for the x component
[in]  y  the value for the y component
[in]  z  the value for the z component, defaulted to 0
[in]  w  the value for the w component, defaulted to 1
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the append was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::clear (  ) 

Clear the contents of the array. After this operation the length method will return 0. This does not change the amount of memory allocated to the array, only the number of valid elements in it.

Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the operation is successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MColorArray::get ( float  dest[][4]  )  const

Copy the elements of the array into the C++ array of float arrays. No checking is done to ensure that the destination C++ array of float arrays is large enough to hold all the elements of the instance.

Parameters:
[out]  dest  the array to populate
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the array argument is a non-zero pointer and MS::kFailure otherwise

void MColorArray::setSizeIncrement ( unsigned int  newIncrement  ) 

Set the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Parameters:
[in]  newIncrement  the new increment

unsigned int MColorArray::sizeIncrement (  )  const

Return the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Returns:
true if the array argument is a non-zero pointer and false otherwise

MColor & MColorArray::operator[] ( unsigned int  index  ) 

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Index operator allowing assignment to an element of the array. Returns a reference to the element at the given index. No range checking is done - valid indices are 0 to length()-1.

Parameters:
[in]  index  the index of the desired element
Returns:
A reference to the indicated element
