nuke.curveknob.CurveKnob

class nuke.curveknob.CurveKnob

Bases: Knob

The knob which holds the tree of paint elements (Layers, Shapes and Strokes).

Most operations are performed on the tree itself, or its elements, rather than through the knob. You can get the root of the tree through the knob’s rootLayer property, or you can get straight to a specific element using the toElement() method.

A common usage scenario is as follows:

>>> knob = nuke.toNode('RotoPaint1')['curves']
>>> root = knob.rootLayer
>>> # perform operations on the root layer.

Creating any new shapes, strokes or layers will require you to pass in a reference to the knob, so it’s worth storing the reference in a variable.

Returns the fully-qualified name of the knob within the node. This can be useful for expression linking.

Parameters: channel – Optional parameter, specifies the channel number of the sub-knob (for example, channels of 0 and 1 would refer to the x and y of a XY_Knob respectively), leave blank or set to -1 to get the qualified name of the knob only.
Returns: The string of the qualified knob or sub-knob, which can be used directly in expression links.

getAuthorMode() → Integer.: Returns the authoring mode currently set on the knob. This is a unique string identifier of the option, which is also used for serialisation and deserialisation. It is not meant to change,thus one can rely on it. :return: The string identifier of the current authoring mode set.

getAuthorModes() → List.: Returns the names of the authoring modes of the knob if the knob is an authoring knob, otherwise an empty list. :return: The names of the authoring modes of the knob if the knob is an authoring knob, otherwise an empty list. This is a list of strings.

setEnabled(enabled) → None.: Enable or disable the knob. :param enabled: True to enable the knob, False to disable it.

setExpression(expression, channel=- 1, view=None) → bool

Set the expression for a knob. You can optionally specify a channel to set the expression for.

Parameters

expression – The new expression for the knob. This should be a string.
channel – Optional parameter, specifying the channel to set the expression for. This should be an integer.
view – Optional view parameter. Without, this command will set the expression for the current view theinterface is displaying. Can be the name of the view or the index.

The path is a slash separated string and is always resolved relative to the root layer. So if, for example, you have a RotoPaint node with a layer called ‘Layer1’ which contains a shape called ‘Shape1’, the path to the shape would be ‘Layer1/Shape1’. >>> knob = nuke.toNode(‘RotoPaint1)[‘curves’] >>> shape = knob.toElement(‘Layer1/Shape1’) >>> shape.name ‘Shape1’
