executePythonCallback(string) → None: Executes the callback if one was added for the given event id string using self.addCallback(string, Callable). Specific event ids can be found in the documentation of the related type or function. The LiveGroupNode has some examples of these event ids such as nuke.LIVEGROUP_CALLBACK_PUBLISHED. It is possible to use your own event id string by adding a callback for it using self.addCallback(string, Callable). Note that this is not related to the standard Nuke callback mechanism. :param string: the string event id with the callback to execute. :return: None

Note that Write nodes files are also included but precomps, gizmos and external plugins are not. Any time shifting operation such as frameholds, timeblurs, motionblur etc are taken into consideration. :return The return list is a list of nodes and files they require. Eg.

splaySelectedNodes(backward, inputA) → None.: Splay the selected nodes. :param backward. :param inputA. :return: None.

treeHasError() → bool

True if the node or any in its input tree have an error, or False otherwise.

Error state of the node and its input tree. Note that this will always return false for viewers, which cannot generate their input trees. Instead, choose an input of the viewer (e.g. the active one), and call treeHasError() on that.

unlink() → None

Unlink the node without possibility to resolve.

Raises:: TypeError – If the node is not a linkable node.

unlock() → Unlocks the node and makes knobs editable.

upstreamFrameRange(i) → FrameRange: Frame range for the i’th input of this node. :param i: Input number. :return: FrameRange. Returns None when querying an invalid input.

width() → int.: Width of the node. :return: int.

writeKnobs(i) → String in .nk form.

Return a tcl list. If TO_SCRIPT | TO_VALUE is not on, this is a simple list of knob names. If it is on, it is an alternating list of knob names and the output of to_script().

Flags can be any of these or’d together: - nuke.TO_SCRIPT produces to_script(0) values - nuke.TO_VALUE produces to_script(context) values - nuke.WRITE_NON_DEFAULT_ONLY skips knobs with not_default() false - nuke.WRITE_USER_KNOB_DEFS writes addUserKnob commands for user knobs - nuke.WRITE_ALL writes normally invisible knobs like name, xpos, ypos

Parameters:: i – The set of flags or’d together. Default is TO_SCRIPT | TO_VALUE.
Returns:: String in .nk form.

xpos() → X position of node in node graph.

Returns:: X position of node in node graph.

ypos() → Y position of node in node graph.

Returns:: Y position of node in node graph.
