MFloatArray Class Reference

#include <MFloatArray.h>

List of all members.


Detailed Description

Array of floats data type.

This class implements an array of floats. 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.

Methods that query the array are threadsafe. Writing to different array elements at the same time with the set() method is threadsafe. Methods that modify the array length, namely append(), insert(), remove() and setLength() are not threadsafe.

Examples:

apiMeshGeom.h, exportJointClusterDataCmd.cpp, flipUVCmd.cpp, flipUVCmd.h, getPointAndNormal.cpp, intersectCmd.cpp, meshOpFtyAction.cpp, meshRemapCmd.cpp, meshRemapCmd.h, meshReorderCmd.cpp, meshReorderCmd.h, objExport.cpp, peltOverlapCmd.cpp, polyRawWriter.h, polyX3DWriter.h, sampleCmd.cpp, sampleParticles.cpp, volumeLightCmd.cpp, and XmlGeometryCache.cpp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MFloatArray::MFloatArray (  ) 

Default constructor. The instance is set to contain no elements.

MFloatArray::MFloatArray ( const MFloatArray other  ) 

Copy Constructor.

Parameters:
[in]  other  the array with which to initialize this instance

MFloatArray::MFloatArray ( const float  src[],
unsigned int  count  
)

Create a new array of floats and initialize it with the given float elements.

Parameters:
[in]  src  a C++ array of floats
[in]  count  the number of elements in the src array

MFloatArray::MFloatArray ( const double  src[],
unsigned int  count  
)

Create a new array of floats and initialize it with the given double elements.

Parameters:
[in]  src  a C++ array of floats
[in]  count  the number of elements in the src array

MFloatArray::MFloatArray ( unsigned int  initialSize,
float  initialValue = 0  
)

Create a new array of floats of a specified size and initialize all the elements with the given initial value.

Parameters:
[in]  initialSize  the initial size of the array
[in]  initialValue  the initial value of each element

MFloatArray::~MFloatArray (  ) 

The class destructor.


Member Function Documentation

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

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

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

MStatus MFloatArray::set ( float  element,
unsigned int  index  
)

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

NOTE: This method does not grow the array if the index is out of bounds. Only a valid index should be used.

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 MFloatArray::set ( double  element,
unsigned int  index  
)

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

NOTE: This method does not grow the array if the index is out of bounds. Only a valid index should be used.

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 MFloatArray::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
Examples:

unsigned int MFloatArray::length (  )  const

Returns the number of elements in the instance.

Returns:
The number of elements in the instance
Examples:

MStatus MFloatArray::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 MFloatArray::insert ( float  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 MFloatArray::append ( float  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 MFloatArray::copy ( const MFloatArray source  ) 

Copy the contents of the source array to this array.

Parameters:
[in]  source  array to copy from
Returns:
MS::kSuccess if the copy was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus MFloatArray::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.

MStatus MFloatArray::get ( float  array[]  )  const

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

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

MStatus MFloatArray::get ( double  array[]  )  const

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

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

void MFloatArray::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 MFloatArray::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

float MFloatArray::operator[] ( unsigned int  index  )  const

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

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.

float & MFloatArray::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
