Synopsis

editDisplayLayerMembers([fullNames=boolean], [noRecurse=boolean])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

editDisplayLayerMembers is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

This command is used to query and edit membership of display layers. No equivalent 'remove' command is necessary since all objects must be in exactly one display layer. Removing an object from a layer can be accomplished by adding it to a different layer.

Flags

fullNames, noRecurse
Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties
noRecurse(nr) boolean createquery
If set then only add selected objects to the display layer. Otherwise all descendants of the selected objects will also be added.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
fullNames(fn) boolean query
(Query only.) If set then return the full DAG paths of the objects in the layer. Otherwise return just the object's name.

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
Flag can appear in Create mode of command Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Return value


[int] Number of objects added to the layer

[string]* Query: List of objects in layer
