[Maya-Python] Finding icons under XBMLANGPATHs

[Risto Jankkila]

Hi,

I need to create Maya shelves under a Qt-window/layout. I chose QListWidget in icon mode, since it fits my needs quite nicely.

To display the icons, I need the pixmap files. The problem is that for some icons, the pixmap files can't be found under any of the paths in XBMLANGPATHs.

For example the first button on 'General'-shelf has a pixmap called 'LearningMovies.png', but I can't find this file anywhere on my hard drive. Is there something really obvious that I'm missing here?

Cheers,

Risto

I found the solution with some googling :

basically some of maya icons are compiled in ressources files,
so you won't be able to find the source files directly,
but you can extract them / use them with those functions

Hope it helps,
S

from PySide import QtGui, QtCore
test = QtGui.QWidget()
layout = QtGui.QHBoxLayout()
test.setLayout(layout)
test.show()

icon = QtGui.QIcon(":/cube.png")
button = QtGui.QToolButton()
button.setFixedSize(24,24)
button.setIcon(icon)
button.setIconSize(QtCore.QSize(20,20))

layout.addWidget(button)

How to know which bitmaps are available in Maya? Launch the Resource Browser
with this code

import maya.app.general.resourceBrowser as resourceBrowser
resBrowser = resourceBrowser.resourceBrowser()
path = resBrowser.run()

Hi, maybe this little script I made can be of some help. At least to know the file name of the icons available in Maya.
