Get(key[, defaultValue])

Get data stored under a specific key. If the key is not found an error will be returned.

GetData(key)

Get data stored under a specific id.

IsEmpty()

Checks if the dictionary is empty.

Reset()

Frees the entire dictionary.

Set(key, value)

Set data under a specific id. this function is template to allow implicit Set calls for each data type.

SetData(key, value)

Methods Definition

DataDictionaryObjectInterface.EraseData(key)

Remove a data entry from the dictionary.

Warning

This function doesn’t check if the dictionary contained the key.

Parameters

key (maxon.Id) – maxon.Id under which the data is stored.

DataDictionaryObjectInterface.Get(key, defaultValue=None)
Get data stored under a specific key. If the key is not found an error will be returned.
This functions offers 2 possible calls:
  1. Using an FId “dict.Get(maxon.MAXCHINEINFO.COMPUTERNAME)”.

  2. Using any type directly together with the result type “dict.Get<String>(Int32(5))”.
    The data type needs to be registered.
Parameters
  • key (Any) – Key under which the data is stored.

  • defaultValue (Any.) – Default value which should be returned if the key cannot be found.

Returns

maxon.Data converted to the right type if found in the dictionary,

otherwise the default value.

DataDictionaryObjectInterface.GetData(key)

Get data stored under a specific id.

Parameters

key (maxon.Id) – maxon.Id under which the data is stored.

Returns

maxon.Data as maxon.Data class.

Return type

Any maxon.Data

DataDictionaryObjectInterface.IsEmpty()

Checks if the dictionary is empty.

Returns

True if the dictionary does not contain any elements.

Return type

bool

DataDictionaryObjectInterface.Reset()

Frees the entire dictionary. After this call the DataDictionary is empty.

DataDictionaryObjectInterface.Set(key, value)
Set data under a specific id. this function is template to allow implicit Set calls for each data type.
This functions offers 2 possible calls:
  1. Using an FId dict.Set(maxon.MAXCHINEINFO.COMPUTERNAME, “data”).

  2. Using any type directly dict.Set(maxon.Int32(5), “data”). The data type needs to be registered.

Parameters
  • key (Any) – maxon.Id under which the data is stored.

  • value (Any) – Move reference to the data.

DataDictionaryObjectInterface.SetData(key, value)

Set maxon.Data under a specific id.
