## Detailed Description

StateManip function set.

The StateManip allows the user to switch between multiple states. It is drawn as a circle with a notch. Each click on the circle increments the value of the state (modulo the maximum number of states). This manipulator generates an integer value corresponding to the state of the manip.

Examples:

  rotateManip.cpp, and swissArmyManip.cpp.

`#include <MFnStateManip.h>`

|  | 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

MFnStateManip | ( | 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

MFnStateManip | ( | 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
