pymel.core.modeling.polyQueryBlindData

polyQueryBlindData(*args, **kwargs)

Command query’s blindData associated with particular polygonal components. So, the command will require the following to be specified: - selection list to query Optional are the: - typeId - associationType - longDataName or shortDataName of data being queried. - The actual data being specified. - showComponent flag Note that for object level blind data, the showComponent flag will be ignored. If no components are selected, the assocation flag will be ignored and object level data will be queried.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
associationType (at) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the dataTypes that are part of BlindData node being queried. Allowable associations are objectfor any object, and vertexedgeand facefor mesh objects.
binaryData (bnd) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the binary string value to search for
booleanData (bd) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the string value to search for
doubleData (dbd) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the double/float value to search for
intData (ind) int ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the integer value to search for
longDataName (ldn) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the long name of the data that is being queried by this command.
maxValue (max) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the maximum value to search for. This option will query float, double, and integer types of blind data.
minValue (min) float ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the minimum value to search for. This option will query float, double and integer types of blind data.
shortDataName (sdn) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the short name of the data that is being queried by this command.
showComp (sc) bool ../../../_images/create.gif
 

The showComponent option controls whether the object.[component].attribute name is output preceeding the actual value. If the showComponent option is used then the restriction of only returning 1 type of blind data (i.e. one of integer, float, double... is removed, as the return for all are strings. If the association is object and not component, then this option will still cause all the attribute names to be printed Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

stringData (sd) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 
Specifies the string value to search for
subString (ss) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif
 

Specifies the substring that should be checked against a STRING type blind data. If the sub string is found query is successful. Will not look at non String type blind data elements.

typeId (id) int ../../../_images/create.gif
 

Specifies the typeId of the BlindData type being queried. If the typeId is not specified, then all of the components that match the query will be output. The typeId of the elements found will be output if the ShowComponents option is used. Will be in the format object.component.attribute::typeId. If the typeId is specifed then the ::typeIdportion will not be output with the ShowComponents option.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyQueryBlindData

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.polyQueryBlindData( 'pPlane1.vtx[2]', 'pPlane1.vtx[8]', id=9001, associationType='vertex', ldn='bdFloat', dbd=234 )
pm.polyQueryBlindData( id=9005, sc='pPlane1.vtx[0:100]' )
pm.polyQueryBlindData( 'pPlane1.f[0:10]', sc='pPlane1.vtx[0:100]' )
