CreateLibrary

Introduced

4.0

Description

Creates and adds a library under the sources container. A library is a container for homogenous objects like materials. To remove a library, use the DeleteObj command.

Note: This command uses output arguments. C# and some scripting languages (such as JScript, PerlScript and Python) don't support arguments passed by reference so you need to use the best workaround for your situation:

For scripting languages this command returns an ISIVTCollection which you can use to get the output arguments.

For C# you can use the XSIApplication.ExecuteCommand method to call this command. ExecuteCommand packs the output arguments into a C# System.Object containing an Array of the output arguments (see Calling Commands from C#).

Scripting Syntax

CreateLibrary( [Name], [Type], [Value] )

Parameters

Examples

JScript Example

// Since this command uses an output argument, we need to get the return 
// object out of the output argument array that the command returns.
var rtn = CreateLibrary( "MyMaterials" );
var mylib = rtn(0);
