Hide unwanted Hypergraph connections/nodes

[highend3djojan-]

A control's connections are expanded in Hypergraph.
How can i hide the nodes which are not needed at a time (just select and hide) without affecting the depth?

[joojaa]

select all you want to see and set the depth to 0. This does what you want tough it affects depth (you can reset it afetr the fact). Thsiway it hides the nodes thet were not to be seen.

Another way is to just show the types you need.

I dont think there is a hide option anywhere. tehcnically you could do a clear and add add node with a script but thats a lot more work for something thst easily doable.

Update:

theres is a elegant way to do this and thats by removing the ndoes form -mainListConnection

mainListConnection? Joojaa, wud u plz make it clear?

[joojaa]

read mayas manual on how the editors work.

[highend3djojan-]

tried another flag -removeNode (rmn) in hyperGraph command.
ran the following from shelf by selecting unwanted node in hyperGraph:

edi = mc.getPanel(wf=True)
sel = mc.ls(sl=True)[0]
mc.hyperGraph(edi, rmn=sel)

but getting this error:

# Error: Too many children in layout: hyperGraphPanel3
# Traceback (most recent call last):
#   File "", line 3, in
# RuntimeError: Too many children in layout: hyperGraphPanel3

How can i escape from this? Or plz modify my code s.t. layout doesnt matter.
Thnx in advance!

Yes may have missed a flag in the docs my bad. your refeering to the panel NOT the editor!

import maya.cmds as mc
 
# following line is quick and dirty hack
edi = mc.getPanel(wf=True)+"HyperGraphEd"
 
if mc.hyperGraph(edi ,exists=True):
  sel = mc.ls(sl=True)
  for item in sel:
    mc.hyperGraph(edi, e=True,rmn=item)
else:
  print "please select a hypergraph window"

PS: its possible to use same code for hypershade panels aswell

Ok looking a bit harder this option is built into the graph GUI's rmb on the graph area and choose

Graph->Remove Selected from Graph

So no need for this script
