MFnPointArrayData Class Reference
[OpenMaya - API
module for common classes, FunctionSet classes]

<MFnPointArrayData.h>
Detailed Description
Point array function set for dependency node data.MFnPointArrayData allows the creation and manipulation of MPointArray data objects for use in the dependency graph.
If a user written dependency node either accepts or produces MPointArrays, then this class is used to extract or create the data that comes from or goes to other dependency graph nodes. The MDataHandle::type method will return kPointArray when data of this type is present. To access it, the MDataHandle::data method is used to get an MObject for the data and this should then be used to initialize an instance of MFnPointArrayData.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
Constructor.
Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.
- Parameters:
-
[in] object The MObject to attach the function set to [out] ReturnStatus the return status
- Status Codes:
-
- MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
- MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject
Constructor.
Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.
- Parameters:
-
[in] object The MObject to attach the function set to [out] ReturnStatus the return status
- Status Codes:
-
- MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
- MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject

| const char * MFnPointArrayData::className | ( | ) | const [protected, virtual] |
| unsigned int MFnPointArrayData::length | ( | MStatus * | ReturnStatus =

) | const |
Return the number of points in the instance.
- Parameters:
-
[out] ReturnStatus kFailure if the instance is not attached to an MObject, and kSuccess otherwise.
- Returns:
- The number of points in the instance
| MStatus MFnPointArrayData::copyTo | ( | MPointArray & | dest | ) | const |
Copy all the points in the instance into the given MPointArray. No checking is done by this class on sizes, so it is up to the user to ensure that the given MPointArray is large enough to hold the number of MPoints in the instance.
- Parameters:
-
[out] dest the MPointArray to populate
- Returns:
-
- kSuccess operation successful
- kFailure instance is not attached to an MObject
| MStatus MFnPointArrayData::set | ( | const MPointArray & | array | ) |
Set the instance to contain the points defined in the given MPointArray.
- Parameters:
-
[in] array the MPointArray containing the data to set into this instance
- Returns:
-
- kSuccess operation successful
- kFailure instance is not attached to an MObject
| MPointArray MFnPointArrayData::array | ( | MStatus * | ReturnStatus =
NULL |
) |
Get an MPointArray containing the points stored in this instance. The MPointArray returned by this method is editable, so any changes to the return instance also affects the MObject operated upon by this function set.
- Parameters:
-
[out] ReturnStatus kFailure if the instance is not attached to an MObject, and kSuccess otherwise.
- Returns:
- A copy of the MPointArray held in this instance
| MObject MFnPointArrayData::create | ( | const MPointArray & | arr, | |
| MStatus * | ReturnStatus =
NULL |
|||
| ) |
Create a new MObject, attach it to this instance, and initialize it to contain the data from the given MPointArray.
- Parameters:
-
[in] arr the data to use when initializing this instance [out] ReturnStatus kSuccess
- Returns:
- The newly created MObject
| MPoint & MFnPointArrayData::operator[] | ( | unsigned int | index | ) |
NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.
Extract the indicated MPoint from the instance. The MPoint returned by this method is editable, so any changes to the return instance also affects the MObject operated upon by this function set.
No checking is done by this class to ensure that the index is valid - use the length method to determine the size of the array. If the instance is not attached to an MObject, this method will return an MPoint containing (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0).
- Parameters:
-
[in] index the index of the MPoint to extract
- Returns:
- The indicated MPoint
| const MPoint & MFnPointArrayData::operator[] | ( | unsigned int | index | ) | const |
NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.
Extract the indicated MPoint from the const instance. No checking is done by this class to ensure that the index is valid - use the length method to determine the size of the array. If the instance is not attached to an MObject, this method will return an MPoint containing (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0).
- Parameters:
-
[in] index the index of the MPoint to extract
- Returns:
- The indicated MPoint
