Detailed Description

UsdGeomVisibilityAPI introduces properties that can be used to author visibility opinions.

Note
Currently, this schema only introduces the attributes that are used to control purpose visibility. Later, this schema will define all visibility-related properties and UsdGeomImageable will no longer define those properties.

The purpose visibility attributes added by this schema, guideVisibility, proxyVisibility, and renderVisibility can each be used to control visibility for geometry of the corresponding purpose values, with the overall visibility attribute acting as an override. I.e., if visibility evaluates to "invisible", purpose visibility is invisible; otherwise, purpose visibility is determined by the corresponding purpose visibility attribute.

Note that the behavior of guideVisibility is subtly different from the proxyVisibility and renderVisibility attributes, in that "guide" purpose visibility always evaluates to either "invisible" or "visible", whereas the other attributes may yield computed values of "inherited" if there is no authored opinion on the attribute or inherited from an ancestor. This is motivated by the fact that, in Pixar"s user workflows, we have never found a need to have all guides visible in a scene by default, whereas we do find that flexibility useful for "proxy" and "render" geometry. This schema can only be applied to UsdGeomImageable prims. The UseGeomImageable schema provides API for computing the purpose visibility values that result from the attributes introduced by this schema. For any described attribute \em Fallback \em Value or \em Allowed \em Values below that are text/tokens, the actual token is published and defined in \ref UsdGeomTokens. So to set an attribute to the value "rightHanded", use UsdGeomTokens->rightHanded as the value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ UsdGeomVisibilityAPI() [1/2]

UsdGeomVisibilityAPI ( const UsdPrim prim = UsdPrim())
inlineexplicit

Construct a UsdGeomVisibilityAPI on UsdPrim prim .

Equivalent to UsdGeomVisibilityAPI::Get(prim.GetStage(), prim.GetPath()) for a valid prim, but will not immediately throw an error for an invalid prim

Definition at line 105 of file visibilityAPI.h.

◆ UsdGeomVisibilityAPI() [2/2]

UsdGeomVisibilityAPI ( const UsdSchemaBase schemaObj)
inlineexplicit

Construct a UsdGeomVisibilityAPI on the prim held by schemaObj .

Should be preferred over UsdGeomVisibilityAPI(schemaObj.GetPrim()), as it preserves SchemaBase state.

Definition at line 113 of file visibilityAPI.h.

◆ ~UsdGeomVisibilityAPI()

virtual USDGEOM_API ~UsdGeomVisibilityAPI ( )
virtual

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

◆ _GetSchemaKind()

USDGEOM_API UsdSchemaKind _GetSchemaKind ( ) const
overrideprotectedvirtual

Returns the kind of schema this class belongs to.

See also
UsdSchemaKind

Reimplemented from UsdAPISchemaBase.

◆ Apply()

static USDGEOM_API UsdGeomVisibilityAPI Apply ( const UsdPrim prim)
static

Applies this single-apply API schema to the given prim.

This information is stored by adding "VisibilityAPI" to the token-valued, listOp metadata apiSchemas on the prim.

Returns
A valid UsdGeomVisibilityAPI object is returned upon success. An invalid (or empty) UsdGeomVisibilityAPI object is returned upon failure. See UsdPrim::ApplyAPI() for conditions resulting in failure.

◆ CanApply()

static USDGEOM_API bool CanApply ( const UsdPrim prim,
std::string *  whyNot = nullptr 
)
static

Returns true if this single-apply API schema can be applied to the given prim.

If this schema can not be a applied to the prim, this returns false and, if provided, populates whyNot with the reason it can not be applied.

Note that if CanApply returns false, that does not necessarily imply that calling Apply will fail. Callers are expected to call CanApply before calling Apply if they want to ensure that it is valid to apply a schema.

◆ CreateGuideVisibilityAttr()

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute CreateGuideVisibilityAttr ( VtValue const &  defaultValue = VtValue(),
bool  writeSparsely = false 
) const

See GetGuideVisibilityAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ CreateProxyVisibilityAttr()

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute CreateProxyVisibilityAttr ( VtValue const &  defaultValue = VtValue(),
bool  writeSparsely = false 
) const

See GetProxyVisibilityAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ CreateRenderVisibilityAttr()

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute CreateRenderVisibilityAttr ( VtValue const &  defaultValue = VtValue(),
bool  writeSparsely = false 
) const

See GetRenderVisibilityAttr(), and also Create vs Get Property Methods for when to use Get vs Create.

If specified, author defaultValue as the attribute's default, sparsely (when it makes sense to do so) if writeSparsely is true - the default for writeSparsely is false.

◆ Get()

static USDGEOM_API UsdGeomVisibilityAPI Get ( const UsdStagePtr &  stage,
const SdfPath path 
)
static

Return a UsdGeomVisibilityAPI holding the prim adhering to this schema at path on stage.

If no prim exists at path on stage, or if the prim at that path does not adhere to this schema, return an invalid schema object. This is shorthand for the following:

UsdGeomVisibilityAPI(stage->GetPrimAtPath(path));
UsdGeomVisibilityAPI introduces properties that can be used to author visibility opinions.
Definition: visibilityAPI.h:94

◆ GetGuideVisibilityAttr()

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute GetGuideVisibilityAttr ( ) const

This attribute controls visibility for geometry with purpose "guide".

Unlike overall visibility, guideVisibility is uniform, and therefore cannot be animated.

Also unlike overall visibility, guideVisibility is tri-state, in that a descendant with an opinion of "visible" overrides an ancestor opinion of "invisible".

The guideVisibility attribute works in concert with the overall visibility attribute: The visibility of a prim with purpose "guide" is determined by the inherited values it receives for the visibility and guideVisibility attributes. If visibility evaluates to "invisible", the prim is invisible. If visibility evaluates to "inherited" and guideVisibility evaluates to "visible", then the prim is visible. Otherwise, it is invisible.

Declaration uniform token guideVisibility = "invisible"
C++ Type TfToken
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Token
Variability SdfVariabilityUniform
Allowed Values inherited, invisible, visible

◆ GetProxyVisibilityAttr()

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute GetProxyVisibilityAttr ( ) const

This attribute controls visibility for geometry with purpose "proxy".

Unlike overall visibility, proxyVisibility is uniform, and therefore cannot be animated.

Also unlike overall visibility, proxyVisibility is tri-state, in that a descendant with an opinion of "visible" overrides an ancestor opinion of "invisible".

The proxyVisibility attribute works in concert with the overall visibility attribute: The visibility of a prim with purpose "proxy" is determined by the inherited values it receives for the visibility and proxyVisibility attributes. If visibility evaluates to "invisible", the prim is invisible. If visibility evaluates to "inherited" then: If proxyVisibility evaluates to "visible", then the prim is visible; if proxyVisibility evaluates to "invisible", then the prim is invisible; if proxyVisibility evaluates to "inherited", then the prim may either be visible or invisible, depending on a fallback value determined by the calling context.

Declaration uniform token proxyVisibility = "inherited"
C++ Type TfToken
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Token
Variability SdfVariabilityUniform
Allowed Values inherited, invisible, visible

◆ GetPurposeVisibilityAttr()

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute GetPurposeVisibilityAttr ( const TfToken purpose) const

Return the attribute that is used for expressing visibility opinions for the given purpose.

The valid purpose tokens are "guide", "proxy", and "render" which return the attributes guideVisibility, proxyVisibility, and renderVisibility respectively.

Note that while "default" is a valid purpose token for UsdGeomImageable::GetPurposeVisibilityAttr, it is not a valid purpose for this function, as UsdGeomVisibilityAPI itself does not have a default visibility attribute. Calling this function with "default will result in a coding error.

◆ GetRenderVisibilityAttr()

USDGEOM_API UsdAttribute GetRenderVisibilityAttr ( ) const

This attribute controls visibility for geometry with purpose "render".

Unlike overall visibility, renderVisibility is uniform, and therefore cannot be animated.

Also unlike overall visibility, renderVisibility is tri-state, in that a descendant with an opinion of "visible" overrides an ancestor opinion of "invisible".

The renderVisibility attribute works in concert with the overall visibility attribute: The visibility of a prim with purpose "render" is determined by the inherited values it receives for the visibility and renderVisibility attributes. If visibility evaluates to "invisible", the prim is invisible. If visibility evaluates to "inherited" then: If renderVisibility evaluates to "visible", then the prim is visible; if renderVisibility evaluates to "invisible", then the prim is invisible; if renderVisibility evaluates to "inherited", then the prim may either be visible or invisible, depending on a fallback value determined by the calling context.

Declaration uniform token renderVisibility = "inherited"
C++ Type TfToken
Usd Type SdfValueTypeNames->Token
Variability SdfVariabilityUniform
Allowed Values inherited, invisible, visible

◆ GetSchemaAttributeNames()

static USDGEOM_API const TfTokenVector & GetSchemaAttributeNames ( bool  includeInherited = true)
static

Return a vector of names of all pre-declared attributes for this schema class and all its ancestor classes.

Does not include attributes that may be authored by custom/extended methods of the schemas involved.
