Method Summary

void	setProperty(Path nodePath, Name propertyName, Object... values) Set the supplied property on the supplied node.
void	setProperty(String nodePath, String propertyName, Object... values) Set the supplied property on the supplied node.
void	setReference(String nodePath, String propertyName, String... paths) Set the supplied reference on the supplied node.

Method Detail

setProperty

void setProperty(String nodePath,
                 String propertyName,
                 Object... values)

Set the supplied property on the supplied node.

The value factories should be used to create paths, names, and values. These factories can be used to create new values or convert values from one property type to another. (Note that each of the factories have methods that create values from all of the property types.)

This method is provided as a convenience, but it identical to creating a Path and Name using the factories and calling setProperty(Path, Name, Object...).

Parameters:

nodePath - the path to the node containing the property; may not be null

propertyName - the name of the property to be set

values - the value(s) for the property; may be empty if any existing property is to be removed

setReference

void setReference(String nodePath,
                  String propertyName,
                  String... paths)

Set the supplied reference on the supplied node.

This method is provided as a convenience, but it identical to creating a Path and Name using the factories and calling setProperty(Path, Name, Object...).

Parameters:

nodePath - the path to the node containing the property; may not be null

propertyName - the name of the property to be set

paths - the paths to the referenced property, which may be absolute paths or relative to the sequencer output node; may be empty if any existing property is to be removed

setProperty

void setProperty(Path nodePath,
                 Name propertyName,
                 Object... values)

Set the supplied property on the supplied node.

The value factories should be used to create paths, names, and values. These factories can be used to create new values or convert values from one property type to another. (Note that each of the factories have methods that create values from all of the property types.)

Parameters:

nodePath - the path to the node containing the property; may not be null

propertyName - the name of the property to be set

values - the value(s) for the property; may be empty if any existing property is to be removed
