Detailed Description

A node definition element within a Document.

A NodeDef provides the declaration of a node interface, which may then be instantiated as a Node.

Member Function Documentation

getDeclaration()

ConstInterfaceElementPtr getDeclaration ( const string &  target = EMPTY_STRING ) const

overridevirtual

Return the first declaration of this interface, optionally filtered by the given target name.

Reimplemented from InterfaceElement.

getImplementation()

InterfaceElementPtr getImplementation

(

const string &

target = EMPTY_STRING

)

const

Return the first implementation for this nodedef, optionally filtered by the given target name.

Parameters

target

An optional target name, which will be used to filter the implementations that are considered.

Returns

An implementation for this nodedef, or an empty shared pointer if none was found. Note that a node implementation may be either an Implementation element or a NodeGraph element.

getType()

const string & getType ( ) const

overridevirtual

Return the element's output type.

Reimplemented from TypedElement.

isVersionCompatible()

bool isVersionCompatible

(

const string &

version

)

const

Return true if the given version string is compatible with this NodeDef.

This may be used to test, for example, whether a NodeDef and Node may be used together.

validate()

bool validate ( string *  message = nullptr ) const

overridevirtual

Validate that the given element tree, including all descendants, is consistent with the MaterialX specification.

Reimplemented from Element.
