Creating a window is only the beginning. In order to create a proper interface, we'll need to both add controls, and tie them to functionality. In this example, we'll be revisiting our good friend, the polyCube command, and tying it to a button press.
The resulting UI (and its output) will look similar to the following:
Create a new script and name it buttonExample.py. Add the following code:
import maya.cmds as cmds
def buttonFunction(args):
cmds.polyCube()
def showUI():
myWin = cmds.window(title="Button Example", widthHeight=(200, 200))
cmds.columnLayout()
cmds.button(label="Make Cube", command=buttonFunction)
cmds.showWindow(myWin)
showUI()Run the script, and you should see a 200 by 200 pixel window with a single button inside it. Pushing the button will create a polygonal cube with the default parameters.
