Inherited from class SelectableNode

Plugs:

boolean Selected R True if the node is selected. Don't use this plug directly to select a node, use the Document's modifier select method.

Node parent getparent ( ) Get the parent Node of this Node
string path getpath ( ) Returns the node path as a string that can be reused with findchild
Reference reference getreference ( ) Returns the reference node it is connected to
of table getreferences ( [ topref Reference ] ) Returns the references in the document sorted depth first.
string result getstringcopy ( ) Return a copy of the node and its content as a string to be pasted

types.bool Disabled RW

Disables the rendering of this output when true


types.bool Solo RW

Is the group in the solo mode ?

If at least one render pass is in the solo mode, only those passes will be computed. If no render pass are in the solo mode, all the render passes are computed.

nil addaov ( {string|table} settings )

Add a new AOV

Arguments:

  • settings The settings to use, see also LayerOut setaov
