Clone

[mottosso]

Support for cloning enum attributes.

parent = createNode("transform")
camera = createNode("camera", parent=parent)

# Make new enum attribute
camera["myEnum"] = Enum(fields=["a", "b", "c"])

# Clone it
clone = camera["myEnum"].clone("cloneEnum")
cam.addAttr(clone)

# Compare it
fields = camera["cloneEnum"].fields()
assert fields == ((0, "a"), (1, "b"), (2, "c"))

A little overdue, some additions that's been happening over the past month or so.

• Support for path-like syntax, e.g. parent | "child" | "grandchild"
• Add Vector.rotate_by PEP8 syntax
• Protect against crash when using MPoint with MObject
• Support BoundingBox.expand with Vector-type
• Expose math.sqrt as cmdx.sqrt
• Expose isScrubbing
• Expose isPlaying
• Support for cmdx.setAttr(undoable=True)
• Support for cmdx.setAttr with Matrix
• Make Maya aware of cmdx version

Path-like Syntax

You can now more neatly identify objects in a hierarchy.

# Before
group = cmdx.encode("|some_grp")
hand = cmdx.encode(group.path() + "|hand_ctl")

# After
hand = group | "hand_ctl"

It can be nested too.

finger = group | "hand_ctl" | "finger_ctl"

setAttr

To my great astonishment, Maya's cmds.setAttr depends on the UI settings for units. :O

cmds.setAttr("hand_ctl.translateY", 5)

For a user with Maya set to Centimeters, this would set translateY to 5 centimeters. For any user with any other unit, like Foot, it would instead move it 5 feet. That is terrible behaviour for a script, how can you possibly define the length of something if you don't know the unit? A dog is 100 cm tall, not 100 "any unit" tall.

The cmdx.setAttr on the other hand does what Maya's API does, which is to treat all units consistently.

• Distance values are in centimeters
• Angular values are in radians

So the user is free to choose any unit for their UI without breaking their scripts.

More additions, should really be merging this hah.

• setChannelBox
• currentFrame
• Handle passing tuple to curve()
• Integer attribute type
• Handle multiple vendored cmdx's
