pymel.core.windows.attrFieldSliderGrp

attrFieldSliderGrp(*args, **kwargs)

All of the group commands position their individual controls in columns starting at column 1. The layout of each control (ie. column) can be customized using the -cw/columnWidth, -co/columnOffset, -cat/columnAttach, -cal/columnAlign, and -adj/adjustableColumnflags. By default, columns are left aligned with no offset and are 100 pixels wide. Only one column in any group can be adjustable. This command creates a pre-packaged collection of label text, float field and float slider (for values with a min or max specified) The group also supports the notion of a larger secondary range of possible field values. If an attribute is specified for this object, then it will use any min and max values defined in the attribute. The user-specified values can reduce the min and max, but cannot expand them. The field created here is an expression field – while normally operating as a float field, the user can type in any expression starting with the character -. This will expand the field to occupy the space previously taken by the slider. The field also has an automatic menu brought up by the right mouse button. The contents of this menu change depending on the state of the attribute being watched by the field.

defineTemplate (dt)		unicode
	Puts a command in a mode where any other flags and args are parsed and added to the command template specified in the argument. They will be used as default arguments in any subsequent invocations of the command when templateName is set as the current template.
docTag (dtg)		unicode
	Add a documentation flag to the control. The documentation flag has a directory structure like hierarchy. Eg. -dt render/multiLister/createNode/material
dragCallback (dgc)		callable
	Adds a callback that is called when the middle mouse button is pressed. The MEL version of the callback is of the form: global proc string[] callbackName(string $dragControl, int $x, int $y, int $mods) The proc returns a string array that is transferred to the drop site. By convention the first string in the array describes the user settable message type. Controls that are application defined drag sources may ignore the callback. $mods allows testing for the key modifiers CTL and SHIFT. Possible values are 0 == No modifiers, 1 == SHIFT, 2 == CTL, 3 == CTL + SHIFT. In Python, it is similar, but there are two ways to specify the callback. The recommended way is to pass a Python function object as the argument. In that case, the Python callback should have the form: def callbackName( dragControl, x, y, modifiers ): The values of these arguments are the same as those for the MEL version above. The other way to specify the callback in Python is to specify a string to be executed. In that case, the string will have the values substituted into it via the standard Python format operator. The format values are passed in a dictionary with the keys dragControl, x, y, modifiers. The dragControlvalue is a string and the other values are integers (eg the callback string could be print ‘%(dragControl)s %(x)d %(y)d %(modifiers)d’
dropCallback (dpc)		callable
	Adds a callback that is called when a drag and drop operation is released above the drop site. The MEL version of the callback is of the form: global proc callbackName(string $dragControl, string $dropControl, string $msgs[], int $x, int $y, int $type) The proc receives a string array that is transferred from the drag source. The first string in the msgs array describes the user defined message type. Controls that are application defined drop sites may ignore the callback. $type can have values of 1 == Move, 2 == Copy, 3 == Link. In Python, it is similar, but there are two ways to specify the callback. The recommended way is to pass a Python function object as the argument. In that case, the Python callback should have the form: def pythonDropTest( dragControl, dropControl, messages, x, y, dragType ): The values of these arguments are the same as those for the MEL version above. The other way to specify the callback in Python is to specify a string to be executed. In that case, the string will have the values substituted into it via the standard Python format operator. The format values are passed in a dictionary with the keys dragControl, dropControl, messages, x, y, type. The dragControlvalue is a string and the other values are integers (eg the callback string could be print ‘%(dragControl)s %(dropControl)s %(messages)r %(x)d %(y)d %(type)d’
enable (en)		bool
	The enable state of the control. By default, this flag is set to true and the control is enabled. Specify false and the control will appear dimmed or greyed-out indicating it is disabled.
enableBackground (ebg)		bool
	Enables the background color of the control.
exists (ex)		bool
	Returns true|false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
fieldMaxValue (fmx)		float
	Set the maximum value for the field. This flag allows you to specify a maximum bound for the field higher than that of the slider. (See note above about max and min values.)
fieldMinValue (fmn)		float
	Set the minimum value for the field. This flag allows you to specify a minimum bound for the field lower than that of the slider. (See note above about max and min values.)
fieldStep (fs)		float
	Sets the increment for the float field.
fullPathName (fpn)		bool
	Return the full path name of the widget, which includes all the parents
height (h)		int
	The height of the control. The control will attempt to be this size if it is not overruled by parent layout conditions.
hideMapButton (hmb)		bool
	Force the map button to remain hidden for this control.
isObscured (io)		bool
	Return whether the control can actually be seen by the user. The control will be obscured if its state is invisible, if it is blocked (entirely or partially) by some other control, if it or a parent layout is unmanaged, or if the control’s window is invisible or iconified.
label (l)		unicode
	By default, the label of this field will be the name of the attribute. This flag can be used to override that name with whatever string you want.
manage (m)		bool
	Manage state of the control. An unmanaged control is not visible, nor does it take up any screen real estate. All controls are created managed by default.
maxValue (max)		float
	Sets the maximum value for both the slider and the field. (See note above about min and max values)
minValue (min)		float
	Sets the minimum value for both the slider and the field. (by default max and min are set according to what is in the attribute, if anything. If no max and min are specified, or if only one of the two are specified, then no slider is created.)
numberOfPopupMenus (npm)		bool
	Return the number of popup menus attached to this control.
parent (p)		unicode
	The parent layout for this control.
popupMenuArray (pma)		bool
	Return the names of all the popup menus attached to this control.
precision (pre)		int
	Sets the number of digits to the right of the decimal. (If attached to an int attribute, this is automatically set to 0 and cannot be overridden.)
preventOverride (po)		bool
	If true, this flag disallows overriding the control’s attribute via the control’s right mouse button menu.
rowAttach (rat)		int, unicode, int
	Arguments are : column, attachment type, offset. Possible attachments are: top | bottom | both. Specifies attachment types and offsets for the entire row.
sliderMaxValue (smx)		float
	Set the maximum value for the slider. The slider max will be clipped to the field max.
sliderMinValue (smn)		float
	Set the minimum value for the slider. The slider min will be clipped to the field min.
sliderStep (ss)		float
	On Linux the slider step value represents the amount the value will increase or decrease when you click either side of the slider.
step (s)		float
	Sets the increment for both the slider and float field.
useTemplate (ut)		unicode
	Force the command to use a command template other than the current one.
vertical (vr)		bool
	Whether the orientation of the controls in this group are horizontal (default) or vertical. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
visible (vis)		bool
	The visible state of the control. A control is created visible by default. Note that a control’s actual appearance is also dependent on the visible state of its parent layout(s).
visibleChangeCommand (vcc)		callable
	Command that gets executed when visible state of the control changes.
width (w)		int
	The width of the control. The control will attempt to be this size if it is not overruled by parent layout conditions.
