MaterialX.datatype Module

Native Python helper functions for MaterialX data types.

MaterialX.datatype.createValueFromStrings(valueString, typeString)

Convert a MaterialX value and type strings to the corresponding Python value. If the given conversion cannot be performed, then None is returned.

Examples

createValueFromStrings(‘0.1’, ‘float’) -> 0.1 createValueFromStrings(‘0.1, 0.2, 0.3’, ‘color3’) -> mx.Color3(0.1, 0.2, 0.3)

MaterialX.datatype.getTypeString(value)

Return the MaterialX type string associated with the given Python value If the type of the given Python value is not recognized by MaterialX, then None is returned.

Examples

getTypeString(1.0) -> ‘float’ getTypeString(mx.Color3(1)) -> ‘color3’

MaterialX.datatype.getValueString(value)

Return the MaterialX value string associated with the given Python value If the type of the given Python value is not recognized by MaterialX, then None is returned

Examples

getValueString(0.1) -> ‘0.1’ getValueString(mx.Color3(0.1, 0.2, 0.3)) -> ‘0.1, 0.2, 0.3’

MaterialX.datatype.isColorType(t)

Return True if the given type is a MaterialX color.

MaterialX.datatype.isColorValue(value)

Return True if the given value is a MaterialX color.

MaterialX.datatype.stringToBoolean(value)

Return boolean value found in a string. Throws and exception if a boolean value could not be parsed
