Hey all, It's been a super long time since I've been on this list!
I was wondering if I could get a quick example on how to accomplish a simple
wrapping of a pymel node as described here:
http://code.google.com/p/pymel/issues/detail?id=62
allow users to add their own methods to any node. users can now easily import
pymel and then subclass nodes to do what they like, but perhaps there's a way
to register these user subclass modules to be loaded by pymel, such that they
are found within the pymel namespace.
import pymel.core as pm
# Load plugin
pm.loadPlugin('pointless')
# Print Node Type
print pm.nt.PointlessViewer
How would I subclass this and add my own methods?
class PointlessViewerNode(pm.nt.PointlessViewer):
def myMethod(self):
# Do something with my node
pass
Do I have to follow the example under pymel.examples.customClasses.py? Where
an extra attribute is added, ie cls._PointlessClassID? I'm not sure I need
this extra attribute, I just want to add additional methods to the existing
pymel node returned when creating nodes.
viewer = pm.createNode('pointlessViewer')
viewer.myMethod()
Thanks,
Justin
