maxon.Wires¶
Description¶
A port connection consists of up to eight independent wires:
The /value/ wire is used to pass data values along the connection.
The /event/ wire is used when events shall flow along the connection.
The /dependency/ wire is only needed for internal connections within evaluation nodes such as core node wrappers.
computed output port needs to have a dependency wire from each input port which is required for its computation.
The /context/ wire connects a port which shall define a context to an input port which introduces that context.
- The /hidden/ wire is used mark a connection as hidden.What this means exactly is model-specific, for example
maxon.NodesGraphModelInterface
doesn’t show those connections. - The /inhibit/ wire is used to temporarily disable the other wires.When this wire is present, the other wires should be considered as non-existing.
- The /slink/ wire is a marker which is used for node-specific purposes, where the source port of the connectiondetermines the meaning.For example it connects the output port of a context parameter node to the input port which introduces the context.
The /tlink/ wire is a marker which is used for node-specific purposes, where the target port of the connection determines the meaning.
In most cases you only need a combination of a value, event and dependency wire.
maxon.WIRE_MODE
with the following possible values:- WIRE_MODE.NONE means that there is no such wire in the connection.This does not necessarily mean that there is no such wire at all because a wire might be “inherited” from a base node system, or there may be an “implicit wire” due to an enclosing connection.
- WIRE_MODE.MIN, WIRE_MODE.NORMAL and WIRE_MODE.MAX indicate that a wire exists.The values are priorities, so whenever an ambiguity between multiple wires has to be resolved, the wires with highest priority are taken.
>>> w = Wires()
>>> for i in range(Wires.COUNT):
... print(w[i])
>>> w.value = WIRE_MODE.NONE
# Same as line above
>>> w[Wires.VALUE] = WIRE_MODE.NONE

All
(mode=63)¶ - Returns a Wires value where all wire modes are set to the given mode.With the default WIRE_MODE.ALL this can be used as a mask which represents all wires, this is useful as argument to
PortTemplate.GetConnections()
to get all connections.- Parameters
mode (
maxon.WIRE_MODE
) – The mode to use for all wires, WIRE_MODE.ALL by default.- Returns
Wires value having all wire modes set to mode.
- Return type
-
Wires.
Combine
(other)¶ - Returns the parallel combination of this Wires object and other.This takes the maximum of each wire value.
- Parameters
other (
