Macro Definition Documentation

MAXON_MESHATTRIBUTE

#define MAXON_MESHATTRIBUTE	(		T,
			Name
	)

A compatible datatype must be defined for each MeshAttributeClassInterface. This macro automatically generates a compatible data type out of the passed T. After this macro call, it is also necessary to declare and register the resulting DataType using MAXON_DATATYPE and MAXON_DATATYPE_REGISTER. MAXON_DATATYPE must be invoked by using as a name the passed name followed by _MESHATTRIBUTE.

Parameters

[in]	T	The type to register.
[in]	Name	The name to be used for the registration.

In the header file:

namespace maxon
{
  MAXON_MESHATTRIBUTE(ColorA32, VERTEXCOLOR);
  MAXON_DATATYPE(VERTEXCOLOR_MESHATTRIBUTE, "net.maxon.meshattribute.vertexcolor");
}

in the source file:

namespace maxon
{
  MAXON_DATATYPE_REGISTER(VERTEXCOLOR_MESHATTRIBUTE);
}

MAXON_CUSTOMDATATAG

#define MAXON_CUSTOMDATATAG	(		pluginID,
			name,
			resurceID,
			displayID,
			level,
			floatValueCount,
			flags,
			attributeType
	)

This macro simplifies the process of describing the CustomDataTag information used for registration. This macro implements many of the CustomDataTagClassInterface methods automatically.

Parameters

[in]	pluginID	An unique plugin id used to register the CustomDataTag.
[in]	name	The CustomDataTag name.
[in]	resurceID	The resource id string.
[in]	displayID	The display implementation id. See CustomDataTagDisplay.
[in]	level	The disk level for the CustomDataTag.
[in]	floatValueCount	The count of values used for each entry; e.g. a vector will have a floatSize = 3, this is needed to define if the tag is compatible with sds. If it is not compatible (no float based data type) pass NOTOK.
[in]	flags	Tag registration flags.
[in]	attributeType	The mesh attribute type name.
