Default Renderglobals Setting

Maya
1

does anybody know
how to get the string value for the command defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat returns a integet value
any command which gives u the label IMAGE FORMAT menu

that would be a problem with the way enum's work in Maya. You will probably need to do a switch() and manually do the text label.

i seem to recall having doe a proc for this in the melforum a loong time ago. That gave neame sto the enum values. its not terribly hard tough tha values are as follows.

ill do quick seratdh to see if i can find it. As it took some while to do.

ok found it needed to fix it a bit to wok with maya 7.0 should now work in all mayas

CODE
// example jooImageFormat "png"
// note layered psd is "psdLayer"
global proc jooImageFormat(string $format){
 global string $imgExt[];
 global int $imgExtNum[];
 int $size=size($imgExt);
 int $i=0,$hi=0;
 if (gmatch($format,"16")||gmatch($format,"Layer")){
   $format=match("...",$format);
   $hi=1;
 }
 while ($i<=$size){
   if ($imgExt[$i]==$format) if ($hi!=1) break; else $hi--;
   $i++;
 }
 if ($i>$size) error "no such format";

 setAttr defaultRenderGlobals.imageFormat ($imgExtNum[$i]);
 // debug print ($i);
}

NOW this does change the format! it just dont reflect it in the renderglobals menu. originaly it waws a snipet to eport the image viewer in specified format but ist been fixed in maya.

i will look into it whan i get the time for example it does not work for mr images...
