[Maya-Python] PyQt in Maya examples
Hello all, I have got PyQt up and running in Maya 2009. I was wondering if someone could guide me to a few examples, like adding a list of objects from maya into the QT listview or adding items dynamically to a combo box etc. I appreciate the help. Cheers, Vikram. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[Maya-Python] Re: PyQt in Maya examples
Ok, Here's and basic example with PyQT and a QListWidget...
Please note. This use's a modified pumpThread module. The default one from
the maya dev kit has given us lots of problems.
Thanks to some very clever people on this list we now have a working
pumpThread module that is heavily tested here at work.
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
import pymel as pm
import pumpThread
class ExampleUI(QtGui.QDialog):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(ExampleUI, self).__init__(parent)
# Set some basic properties on the UI
self.setWindowTitle('ExampleUI')
self.setObjectName(ExampleUI)
self.setAttribute(QtCore.Qt.WA_DeleteOnClose)
# Add a Layout and set it to the UI
self.mainLayout = QtGui.QVBoxLayout(self)
self.setLayout(self.mainLayout)
# Add a Button and set some properties. Also add it to a layout.
self.RefreshButton = QtGui.QPushButton()
self.RefreshButton.setText(Refresh)
self.mainLayout.addWidget(self.RefreshButton)
# Add a list and set it to the layout
self.SelectionList = QtGui.QListWidget()
self.SelectionList.setMinimumSize(250,250)
self.mainLayout.addWidget(self.SelectionList)
# Connect the Refresh Button to a function to populate the list
using SIGNAL's
self.connect(self.RefreshButton, QtCore.SIGNAL(clicked()),
self._RefreshButtonFunc)
def _RefreshButtonFunc(self):
'''
Fill the list based on a maya selection
'''
oSel = pm.selected()
if oSel:
self.SelectionList.clear()
[self.SelectionList.addItem(s.name()) for s in oSel]
else:
self.SelectionList.clear()
@staticmethod
def Display():
'''
calls the window. Typical PumpThread call
Use's a modified pumpThread that properly set's up the thread.
'''
# We need a global to stop python gc the UI
global mainWindow
# We need pumpThread to make the UI responsive
pumpThread.initializePumpThread()
app = pumpThread.get_app()
if app:
# We can set the app to use a nice style
app.setStyle('Plastique')
mainWindow = ExampleUI()
mainWindow.show()
ExampleUI.Display()
I'll post our final pumpThread later today.

[Maya-Python] Question about MDagPathArray indices
I've run into something a little confusing I am hoping someone here can clarify. Try this: import maya.OpenMaya as OM testArray = OM.MDagPathArray() print testArray.length() You will of course get: 0 Now try this: print testArray[0] You will of course get: None However, even though this array is empty, if you do this: print testArray[1] or this: print testArray[100] you will get something like this: maya.OpenMaya.MDagPath; proxy of Swig Object of type 'MDagPath *' at 0x8 The reason this is causing me problems is because I am wanting to catch an index out of bounds exception for an MDagPathArray in a plugin. However, Maya Python does not seem to mind that I am trying to access an index that is out of bounds. Any ideas? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ http://groups.google.com/group/python_inside_maya -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---
[Maya-Python] Re: Question about MDagPathArray indices
That's because it isn't out of bounds, it's a sparse array that resizes automatically.

[Maya-Python] Re: PyQt in Maya examples
Thanks Dave for the example.
The problem is that I couldn't get the example running. Following is
what I executed in Maya :
import example
example.ExampleUI()
This outputs the following :
# Result: example.ExampleUI object at 0x2268B6A8 #
Then on running :
ExampleUI.Display() , I get an error saying ExampleUI is not defined.
Any idea where am I going wrong. Thanks for the help,
Cheers,
Vikram.
This gives an error saying that ExampleUI is not defined. What am I
doing wrong

[Maya-Python] Re: PyQt in Maya examples
try:
example.ExampleUI.Display()
ExampleUI is inside the example module, so you have to prefix it with
the module name
