 equals(other)  

Check if this SBSObject is equivalent to the other SBSObject. Some members may be excluded from this check, the UIDs or GUILayout for instance.

Parameters:other (SBSObject) – The SBSObject to compare to
Returns:True if the two SBSObject are similar according to their definition.
 getDefinition()  

Get the definition of the node (Inputs, Outputs, Parameters)

Returns:a CompNodeDef object
 getDisplayName()  

Get the display name of this node

Returns:the display name as a string
 getParameterValue(aParameter)  

Find a parameter with the given name/id among the overloaded parameters and the default node parameters, and return its value.

Parameters:aParameter (CompNodeParamEnum or str) – Parameter identifier
Returns:The parameter value if found (string or SBSDynamicValue, None otherwise
 getUidIsUsed(aUID)  

Check if the given uid is already used in the context of this SBSObject.

Parameters:aUID (str) – UID to check
Returns:True if the uid is already used, False otherwise
Raise:AttributeError if the function getUidIsUsed in not properly overloaded on this SBSObject
 hasIdenticalParameters(self, other)  

Allows to check if two nodes has the same parameters defined with the same values.

Parameters:other (SBSCompImplWithParams) – the node to compare with
Returns:True if the two nodes has the same parameters, False otherwise
 parse(aContext, aDirAbsPath, aSBSParser, aXmlNode)  

Parse recursively the given xml node to retrieve the content of the SBSObject.

Parameters:
  • aContext (Context) – execution context
  • aDirAbsPath (str) – the absolute directory containing the current parsed package (.sbs file)
  • aSBSParser (SBSParser) – the substance parser
  • aXmlNode (xml.etree.ElementTree) – the xml node to parse
 setDynamicParameter(aParameter, aRelativeTo = None)  

Set the given parameter as dynamic, to init its params.SBSDynamicValue. If Inheritance is None, the default Inheritance for this node is set.

Parameters:
Returns:

the SBSDynamicValue object if succeed, None otherwise

Raise:

api_exceptions.SBSLibraryError

 setParameterValue(aParameter, aParamValue, aRelativeTo = None)  

Set the value of the given parameter to the given value, if compatible with this node.

Parameters:
Returns:

True if succeed, False otherwise

Raise:

api_exceptions.SBSLibraryError

 unsetParameter(aParameter)  

Unset the given parameter so that it is reset to its default value.

Parameters:aParameter (CompNodeParamEnum or str) – identifier of the parameter to set
Returns:True if succeed, False otherwise
Raise:api_exceptions.SBSLibraryError
 write(aSBSWriter, aXmlNode)  

Write recursively the content of the SBSObject into the given xml node.

Parameters:
  • aSBSWriter (SBSWriter) – the substance writer
  • aXmlNode (xml.etree.ElementTree) – the xml node to fill
 class compnode.common.SBSCompInputValue(aIdentifier='', aType=None)

 equals(other)  

Check if this SBSObject is equivalent to the other SBSObject. Some members may be excluded from this check, the UIDs or GUILayout for instance.

Parameters:other (SBSObject) – The SBSObject to compare to
Returns:True if the two SBSObject are similar according to their definition.
 getUidIsUsed(aUID)  

Check if the given uid is already used in the context of this SBSObject.

Parameters:aUID (str) – UID to check
Returns:True if the uid is already used, False otherwise
Raise:AttributeError if the function getUidIsUsed in not properly overloaded on this SBSObject
