## Detailed Description

Array of MColor data type.

This class implements an array of MColor's. Common convenience functions are available, and the implementation is compatible with the internal Maya implementation so that it can be passed efficiently between plugins and internal maya data structures.

Examples:

  cvColorShader.cpp, meshRemapCmd.cpp, meshRemapCmd.h, meshReorderCmd.cpp, meshReorderCmd.h, polyWriter.h, and volumeLightCmd.cpp.

`#include <MColorArray.h>`

## Member Function Documentation

const MColor & operator[] | ( | unsigned int | index | ) | const

Index operator.

Returns the value of the element at the given index. No range checking is done - valid indices are 0 to length()-1.

Parameters:

  [in] | index | the index of the element whose value is to be returned

Returns:
  The value of the indicated element.

MColorArray & operator= | ( | const MColorArray & | other | ) |

Assignment operator copies all of the elements of the other array into this one.

If the other array was returned as a reference to internal data, then this array will also become a reference rather than doing a full copy.

Parameters:

  [in] | other | the array being copied

Returns:
  A reference to this array

Parameters:

  [in] | element | the new value for the indicated element
  [in] | index | the index of the element that is to be set to the the new value

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus set | ( | unsigned int | index,
|  | float | r,
|  | float | g,
|  | float | b,
|  | float | a = `1`
| ) |  |

Search for all occurrences

Sets the value of the indicated element to the indicated values.

The r component of the element is set to r, the g component to g, the b component to b, and the a component to a.

Parameters:

  [in] | index | the index of the element that is to be set to the the new value
  [in] | r | the new value for the r component
  [in] | g | the new value for the g component
  [in] | b | the new value for the b component
  [in] | a | the new value for the a component,defaulted to 1

Returns:

MStatus set | ( | float | val[4],
|  | unsigned int | index
| ) |  |

The r component of the element is set to val[0], the g component to val[1], the b component to val[2], and the a component to val[3].

Parameters:

  [in] | val | the new value for the indicated element
  [in] | index | the index of the element that is to be set to the the new value

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus set | ( | float | elements[][4],
|  | unsigned int | size
| ) |  |

Search for all occurrences

Resets the values of the color components.

The length of the passed in C++ array should be same as the length of the ColorArray to which we are setting the values.

Parameters:

  [in] | elements | C++ array of float arrays of length four.
  [in] | size | the number of elements in the array.

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus set | ( | double | elements[][4],
|  | unsigned int | size
| ) |  |

Search for all occurrences

Resets the values of the color components.

The length of the passed in C++ array should be same as the length of the ColorArray to which we are setting the values.

Parameters:

  [in] | elements | C++ array of double arrays of length four.
  [in] | size | the number of elements in the array.

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the value was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus setLength | ( | unsigned int | length | ) |

Search for all occurrences

Set the length of the array.

This will grow and shrink the array as desired. Elements that are grown have uninitialized values, while those which are shrunk will lose the data contained in the deleted elements (ie. it will release the memory).

Parameters:

  [in] | length | the new size of the array

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the length was set successfully and MS::kFailure otherwise

Examples:
  cvColorShader.cpp.

unsigned int length | ( |  | ) | const

Search for all occurrences

Returns the number of elements in the instance.

Returns:
  The number of elements in the instance

Examples:
  meshRemapCmd.cpp, and volumeLightCmd.cpp.

MStatus remove | ( | unsigned int | index | ) |

Search for all occurrences

Remove the array element at the given index.

All array elements following the removed element are shifted toward the first element.

Parameters:

  [in] | index | index of the element to be removed

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the remove was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus insert | ( | const MColor & | element,
|  | unsigned int | index
| ) |  |

Search for all occurrences

Inserts a new value into the array at the given index.

The initial element at that index, and all following elements, are shifted towards the last. If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the insert will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters:

  [in] | element | the new value to insert into the array
  [in] | index | the index of the element to set to the the new value

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the insert was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus append | ( | const MColor & | element | ) |

Search for all occurrences

Adds a new element to the end of the array.

If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the append will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters:

  [in] | element | the value for the new last element

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the append was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

Examples:
  volumeLightCmd.cpp.

MStatus append | ( | float | x,
|  | float | y,
|  | float | z,
|  | float | w = `1`
| ) |  |

Search for all occurrences

Adds a new element to the end of the array.

The appended element has the indicated values for its x,y,z and w components. The x component of the element is set to x, the y component to y, the z component to z, and the w component to w.

If the array cannot be expanded in size by 1 element, then the append will fail and the existing array will remain unchanged.

Parameters:

  [in] | x | the value for the x component
  [in] | y | the value for the y component
  [in] | z | the value for the z component, defaulted to 0
  [in] | w | the value for the w component, defaulted to 1

Parameters:

  [in] | source | array to copy from

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the copy was successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

MStatus clear | ( |  | ) |

Search for all occurrences

Clear the contents of the array.

After this operation the length method will return 0. This does not change the amount of memory allocated to the array, only the number of valid elements in it.

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the operation is successful and MS::kFailure otherwise

Examples:
  meshRemapCmd.cpp.

MStatus get | ( | float | dest[][4] | ) | const

Search for all occurrences

Copy the elements of the array into the C++ array of float arrays.

No checking is done to ensure that the destination C++ array of float arrays is large enough to hold all the elements of the instance.

Parameters:

  [out] | dest | the array to populate

Returns:
  MS::kSuccess if the array argument is a non-zero pointer and MS::kFailure otherwise

void setSizeIncrement | ( | unsigned int | newIncrement | ) |

Parameters:

  [in] | newIncrement | the new increment

unsigned int sizeIncrement | ( |  | ) | const

Search for all occurrences

Return the size by which the array will be expanded whenever expansion is necessary.

Returns:
  The size increment.

MColor & operator[] | ( | unsigned int | index | ) |

NO SCRIPT SUPPORT.

Index operator allowing assignment to an element of the array.

Returns a reference to the element at the given index. No range checking is done - valid indices are 0 to length()-1.

Parameters:

  [in] | index | the index of the desired element

Returns:
  A reference to the indicated element

const char * className | ( |  | ) | `[static]`
