showMinorNodes?

[JuanLopezEgea]

Hi.

We can use "showMinorNodes(true/false);" to watch middle minor nodes between main nodes that usually we see in HyperShade/NodeEditor when there is a grey connection line. (Like deformers).

Where this command comes from?. Where is the documentation of this command?. Not in the Api guide, not in scripting content, not in the Maya documentation help.

Where is the source of this?, where this command comes from!?.

Hi Juan

If you use the whatIs command in Maya it will tell you whether a mel command is an actual command, script or a runTimeCommand.

So in this case I typed:

whatIs showMinorNodes;
// Result: Mel procedure found in: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/Maya2014/scripts/others/showMinorNodes.mel

Hope this helps.

I see. Very interesting.

Although it isn't documented in Mel documentation, but this little command (whatIs) is pretty interesting.

I'll try to research a little bit more in this scripts/others folder.

Thank you for try to cast some light here.
