material (m) Message n/a outputinputconnectable
Connection to material to monitor.
texture (t) Message n/a arrayinputconnectable
Connection to texture to monitor.
textureChannel (tc) Message n/a outputinputconnectable

texturePlug (tp) string NULL outputconnectable
Returns the name of the plug (for example, file1.outColor) being sampled by hardware texturing.
textureFilter (tmip) enum 0 outputinputconnectablestorable
Specifies the filter type to be applied to the single material on the object. Default using the view port defined filter.
