SVDView

Live view of a plug’s sources, values and destinations.

ClassSVDSDK

SVDView exposes Source / Value / Destinations without capturing a copy. Each property reads the plug at access time.

objectSVDView
from weSkel.src.core.props.svd import SVDView

Run in Maya with weSkel available. om.* types refer to maya.api.OpenMaya.

Item Value
Class SVDView
Module weSkel.src.core.props.svd
Direct parent object
Kind dataclass; frozen=True
Spec properties None.

This reference documents members defined by this class. Standard Python mechanisms and native inherited members are outside its member counts.

SVDView(plug: Plug) → SVDView

Parameter Type Default
plug Plug required

Supply a valid Plug. node.svd("scaleX") is another entry point. The constructor copies no value and does not enforce annotations at runtime.

Declared fields; a frozen dataclass prevents reassignment, not all nested mutations.

Field Return type Access Purpose
plug Plug R Plug read by the view.

view.plugRead only

Return type Contract
Plug Plug read by the view.

Own members. R = read only; R/W = read and write.

Property Return type Access Purpose
attr_name str R Current long attribute name without the node prefix.
source Optional[Plug] R Current logical source, or None.
value Any R Value read again from Maya on every access.
destinations PlugArray R Logical destinations read again on every access.

view.attr_nameRead only

Return type Contract
str Current long attribute name without the node prefix.

view.sourceRead only

Return type Contract
Optional[Plug] Current logical source, or None.

view.valueRead only

Return type Contract
Any Value read again from Maya on every access.

view.destinationsRead only

Return type Contract
PlugArray Logical destinations read again on every access.

The dataclass is frozen: its fields cannot normally be reassigned. This does not make the plug or scene immutable. Editing the plug elsewhere changes the next read.

value returns the evaluated value even when a source exists. During SVD replay a source takes priority over a local value. Construction does not validate the argument: a missing plug or deleted identity may make reads fail.

from uuid import uuid4

from weSkel.src.core.props.svd import SVDView
node = Transform("sdk_live_" + uuid4().hex[:8])
try:
node.create()
plug = node.plugs["scaleX"]
view = SVDView(plug)
plug.value = 2.0
assert view.value == 2.0
plug.value = 4.0
assert view.value == 4.0
assert view.source is None and len(view.destinations) == 0
assert view.attr_name == "scale.scaleX"
print("SVDView: PASS")
finally:
node.delete(snapshot=False)

Expected result: SVDView: PASS. Temporary nodes are removed in finally.
