Re: [Maya-Python] New items are not added into QMenu
Hey likage:
I cannot repro your second question. Items are added properly into the
QMenu on my site. For your second question, because you put the "addAction"
(2 of the default items) under the "_showContextMenu" , so theyare added
when you right clicking the tab.
To be noticed, I am using Pyside2, so I placed all the QtGui to QtWidgets.
I paste the new code, hope that helps:
from PySide2 import QtWidgets
from PySide2 import QtCore
class TabBar(QtWidgets.QTabBar ):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(TabBar, self).__init__(parent)
self.qmenu = QtWidgets.QMenu()
self.setExpanding(False)
add_item_action = QtWidgets.QAction('Add new item', self,
triggered=self.add_new_item)
self.qmenu.addAction(add_item_action)
self.qmenu.addSeparator()
def_item_01 = self.qmenu.addAction("Default Item A")
def_item_02 = self.qmenu.addAction("Default Item B")
self.separator = self.qmenu.addSeparator()
def tabSizeHint(self, index):
return super(TabBar, self).tabSizeHint(index)
def mousePressEvent(self, event):
index = self.tabAt(event.pos())
if event.button() == QtCore.Qt.RightButton:
self._showContextMenu(event.pos(), index)
else:
super(TabBar, self).mousePressEvent(event)
def _showContextMenu(self, position, index):
# Default items
global_position = self.mapToGlobal(self.pos())
self.qmenu.exec_(QtCore.QPoint(
global_position.x() - self.pos().x() + position.x(),
global_position.y() - self.pos().y() + position.y()
))
@QtCore.Slot()
def add_new_item(self):
new_item_name, ok = QtWidgets.QInputDialog.getText(
self,
"name of item",
"Name of new item : "
)
if ok:
new_action = QtWidgets.QAction(new_item_name, self.qmenu,
checkable=True)
self.qmenu.insertAction(self.separator, new_action)
class TabWidget(QtWidgets.QTabWidget):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
super(TabWidget, self).__init__(parent)
self.setTabBar(TabBar(self))
def resizeEvent(self, event):
self.tabBar().setMinimumWidth(self.width())
super(TabWidget, self).resizeEvent(event)
class Window(QtWidgets.QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super(Window, self).__init__()
self.tabs = TabWidget(self)
layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self)
layout.addWidget(self.tabs)
some_tabs = ['TabA', 'TabB', 'TabC', 'TabD']
for my_tab in some_tabs:
self.tabs.addTab(QtWidgets.QWidget(self), my_tab)
test = Window()
test.show()

Re: [Maya-Python] Re: Array Attribute on maya python api deformer node
Hey Yixiong,
_jiggleMap is a user defined list. We need to save the jiggleMap weights
for each *input geometry*.
hJiggleMap.inputValue().asFloat() only returns the weight for the current
vertex ID on the current input geometry.
jiggleMapArray stores all the weight for the current input geometry but
_jiggleMap will store all the jiggleMapArray for all the input geometry.
So I get the jiggleMapArray by using _jiggleMap[geoIndex].
If you do not save this data, you will definitely see this issue: "When I
move one mesh, the other mesh or some components of the other mesh will
perform jiggle effect" Because your weights actually messed up.

This is how i get data from a compound array attribute. I recommend
using om.MFnTypedAttribute.MDoubleArray to store weight data since you can
obtain all the data in one call which is faster. You only need to use
MArrayDataBuilder when you need to add data on an existing array attribute
(like outputting an array of matrices). If all you're doing is accessing an
array, you can just iterate through them using either
inputArrayData.next(), inputArrayData.jumpToLogicalElement() or

[Maya-Python] New items are not added into QMenu
Hi everyone, I have a tool which utilizes QTabWidget and the tabs are populated with a list of keys from within a dictionary. Each of the QMenu are equipped with 3 default options, with one of the option called `Add new item` where when User uses that option, a prompt dialog will popped up and adds in the user-inputted naming as a new menu option into the current QMenu of the tab (where the right mouse click happens on) The problems that I am encountering right now is: 1. 2 of the default items in the QMenu are getting added more than once, depending on the number of right mouse clicks made on the tool within the session 2. no new item are added into the QMenu - after I added in a new name for the prompt > when performing another right-click, the menu is still showing the default items plus 2 additional default items as mentioned in #1 Even so, wondering if this is a possible scenario for tabs + qmenu(s)? I asked this because when doing a google search online, it seems that QMenu is generally used as a generic menu (eg. multiple buttons adopts the same menu etc) Or should I be adopting to use a different widget for my case?

Another couple of options: - the command cmds.rename returns the new name (which is often the name you gave it, but not always) - you can rename without changing the selection by using cmds.rename(oldName, newName), and it will still all be selected when you're done.

[Maya-Python] query current layer in batch render process
Hi, Im trying to retrieve the current layer being rendered in a batch render process within an interactive maya session. currently im trying to do it like this: string $current_render_layer = `editRenderLayerGlobals -q -currentRenderLayer`; And im setting this code as a mel script in the render options tab, as "pre" script for preRenderLayerMel. When i launch the batch render im getting among other things the frame number being rendered but i keep getting the same render layer name when rendering two different ones. Im guessing this code is not actually querying the batch render process, but the Maya GUI tab. So my question is: how can i retrieve the current render layer that is being rendered? Maybe there is another Maya API command that im not aware of, or maybe in the render options scripts there are already some global variables built in and the render layer would be one of those...
