## Detailed Description

Function set for Gravity Fields.

Function set for creation, edit, and query of Gravity Fields.

A gravity field simulates the Earth's gravitational force. It pulls objects in a fixed direction entirely independent of their position or mass.

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

~MFnGravityField | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Destructor.

Class destructor.

MFnGravityField | ( | MObject & | object,
|  | MStatus * | ReturnStatus = `NULL`
| ) |  |

Constructor.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.

Parameters:

  [in] | object | The MObject to attach the function set to
  [out] | ReturnStatus | the return status

Status Codes:
  - MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
  - MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject

MFnGravityField | ( | const MDagPath & | object,
|  | MStatus * | ReturnStatus = `NULL`
| ) |  |

Constructor.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given constant MDagPath object.

Parameters:

  [in] | object | The const MDagPath to attach the function set to
  [out] | ReturnStatus | The return status

Status Codes:
  - MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
  - MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject

MFnGravityField | ( | const MObject & | object,
|  | MStatus * | ReturnStatus = `NULL`
| ) |  |

Constructor.

Class constructor that initializes the function set to the given MObject.

Parameters:

  [in] | object | The MObject to attach the function set to
  [out] | ReturnStatus | the return status

Status Codes:
  - MS::kSuccess if the function set is successfully attached
  - MS::kInvalidParameter if the MObject does not represent a valid Maya object or if the function set is not allowed to attach to this MObject
