tags in function syntax

[tweeeker]

assuming attachCurve is a mel command that returns a string it'd look like:

string $crv = `attachCurve -rpo 0 "curve2" "curve1" `;

thats slightly different to c++ due to the fact that mel commands can take flag arguments.

A mel procedure on the other hand has a couple of different syntax options:

global proc float myProc( float $var1, int $var 2)
{
float $result = $var1 + $var2;
return $result;
}

// to call you can do either of these
float $f1 = `myProc 5.5 6`;
float $f2 = myProc(5.5, 6); // more like c

hope that helps

thanks, i knew that, this is what is written in the manual.
i meant somtehing else.
I want to use the c++ like syntax. it works, for example,

$curv1andcurv2 = attachCurve("curve2","curve1");

this is working, but where do i place the "-rpo 0"? i mean, how can i set those tags when i use the c++ like syntax?

i read something in the manual, but couldn't grasp it.
