getGeoInput()#

Matched counterpart for getGeoOutput(). Equivalent to self.geoInput.

Returns: The shape input, for example inMesh on a mesh node.
Return type: Geometry

getGeoOutput(worldSpace=False)#

Convenience method; allows you to pick between the world- and local- space abstract outputs using a keyword argument:

def someMethod(self, worldSpace=False):

    # This
    output = self.getGeoOutput(ws=worldSpace)
    output.doSomething()

    # Instead of this
    if worldSpace:
        output = self.worldGeoOutput

    else:
        output = self.localGeoOutput

    output.doSomething()

Parameters: worldSpace/ws (bool) – return the world-space geometry output; defaults to False
Returns: The geometry output plug, for example outMesh on a mesh shape.
Return type: Geometry

classmethod getPlugClass()#

Returns: The geometry attribute subclass associated with this shape.
Return type: Geometry

deleteHistory()#

Deletes history on this node.

Returns: self
Return type: DeformableShape

hasHistory()#

Returns: True if this shape has history, otherwise False.
Return type: bool

getOrigPlug(create=False)#

Parameters: create/c (bool) – create the original geometry if it doesn’t already exist
Returns: The output of the best candidate for an ‘original geometry’ in this shape’s history, or None
Return type: Geometry, None

getHistoryPlug(create=False)#

Parameters: create/c – create a historical input if it doesn’t already exist
Returns: The input into this shape, or None
Return type: Geometry, None
