pymel.core.animation.blendShapeEditor

blendShapeEditor(*args, **kwargs)

This command creates an editor that derives from the base editor class that has controls for blendShape, control nodes.

Flags:

• control : ctl (bool) [query]

  Query only. Returns the top level control for this editor. Usually used for getting a parent to attach popup menus. Caution: It is possible, at times, for an editor to exist without a control. This flag returns NONEif no control is present.

• defineTemplate : dt (unicode) [create]

  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) [create,query,edit]

  Attaches a tag to the Maya editor.

• exists : ex (bool) [create]

  Returns true|false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.

• filter : f (unicode) [create,query,edit]

  Specifies the name of an itemFilter object to be placed on this editor. This filters the information coming onto the main list of the editor.

• forceMainConnection : fmc (unicode) [create,query,edit]

  Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only display items contained in the selectionConnection object. This is a variant of the -mainListConnection flag in that it will force a change even when the connection is locked. This flag is used to reduce the overhead when using the -unlockMainConnection , -mainListConnection, -lockMainConnection flags in immediate succession.

• highlightConnection : hlc (unicode) [create,query,edit]

  Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will synchronize with its highlight list. Not all editors have a highlight list. For those that do, it is a secondary selection list.

• lockMainConnection : lck (bool) [create,edit]

  Locks the current list of objects within the mainConnection, so that only those objects are displayed within the editor. Further changes to the original mainConnection are ignored.

• mainListConnection : mlc (unicode) [create,query,edit]

  Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only display items contained in the selectionConnection object.

• panel : pnl (unicode) [create,query]

  Specifies the panel that the editor belongs to. By default if an editor is created in the create callback of a scripted panel it will belong to that panel. If an editor doesn’t belong to a panel it will be deleted when the window that it is in is deleted.

• parent : p (unicode) [create,query,edit]

  Specifies the parent layout for this editor. This flag will only have an effect if the editor is currently un-parented.

• selectionConnection : slc (unicode) [create,query,edit]

  Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will synchronize with its own selection list. As the user selects things in this editor, they will be selected in the selectionConnection object. If the object undergoes changes, the editor updates to show the change.

• stateString : sts (bool) [query]

  Query only flag. Returns the MEL command that will edit an editor to match the current editor state. The returned command string uses the string variable $editorName in place of a specific name.

• targetControlList : tcl (bool) [query]

• targetList : tl (bool) [query]

  Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

• unParent : up (bool) [create,edit]

  Specifies that the editor should be removed from its layout. This cannot be used with query.

• unlockMainConnection : ulk (bool) [create,edit]

  Unlocks the mainConnection, effectively restoring the original mainConnection (if it is still available), and dynamic updates.

• updateMainConnection : upd (bool) [create,edit]

  Causes a locked mainConnection to be updated from the orginal mainConnection, but preserves the lock state.

• useTemplate : ut (unicode) [create]

  Force the command to use a command template other than the current one.

• verticalSliders : vs (bool) [create,query,edit]

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.blendShapeEditor
