Module Types

The Blender.Types submodule

This module is a dictionary of Blender Python types, for type checking.

Example:

 import Blender
 from Blender import Types, Object, NMesh, Camera, Lamp
 #
 objs = Object.Get() # a list of all objects in the current scene
 for o in objs:
   print
   print o, type(o)
   data = o.getData()
   print type(data)
   if type(data) == Types.NMeshType:
     if len(data.verts):
       print "its vertices are obviously of type:", type(data.verts[0])
     print "and its faces:", Types.NMFaceType
   elif type(data) == Types.CameraType:
     print "It's a Camera."
   elif type(data) == Types.LampType:
     print "Let there be light!"

Variables Details

ArmatureType

Blender Armature. The "skeleton", for animating and deforming objects.

BoneType

Blender Bone. Bones are, obviously, the "pieces" of an Armature.

ButtonType

Blender Button. One of the Draw widgets.

GroupType

Blender Group. A Group that references a list of objects that are a part of this group.

MColType

Blender MCol. A mesh rgba color.

MEdgeType

Blender MEdge. A mesh edge, with two vertices

MFaceType

Blender MFace. A mesh face, with three (a triangular face) or four (a quad face) vertices.

MTexType

Blender MTex. Links materials to a texture.

MVertType

Blender MVert. A mesh vertex which wraps a Blender mesh vertex (typically an object returned from the mesh.verts sequence).

MeshType

Blender Mesh. The mesh structure.

NMColType

Blender NMCol. A mesh rgba color.

NMFaceType

Blender NMFace. A mesh face, with one (a point), two (an edge), three (a triangular face) or four (a quad face) vertices.

NMVertType

Blender NMVert. A mesh vertex.

NMeshType

Blender NMesh. The mesh structure.

ObjectType

Blender Object. The base object, linked to its specific data at its .data member variable.

PVertType

Blender MVert. A mesh vertex which does not wrap a Blender mesh vertex (returned from Blender.Mesh.MVert()).

SceneType

A Blender Scene. Container of all other objects.

bufferType

Blender buffer. A contiguous piece of storage, used in BGL.

constantType

Blender constant. A constant dictionary.

quaternionType

Blender quaternion. Used in armatures.

rgbTupleType

Blender rgbTuple. A (red, green, blue) triplet.

vectorType

Blender vector. Used in NMesh, Mesh and elsewhere.
