# Blender.Object module and the Object PyType object

"""
The Blender.Object submodule

B{New}:
	- Addition of attributes for particle deflection, softbodies, and
		rigidbodies.
	- Objects now increment the Blender user count when they are created and
		decremented it when they are destroyed.  This means Python scripts can
		keep the object "alive" if it is deleted in the Blender GUI.
	- L{Object.getData} now accepts two optional bool keyword argument to
			define (1) if the user wants the data object or just its name
			and (2) if a mesh object should use NMesh or Mesh.
	- L{Object.clearScriptLinks} accepts a parameter now.
	- Object attributes: renamed Layer to L{Layers<Object.Object.Layers>} and
		added the easier L{layers<Object.Object.layers>}.  The old form "Layer"
		will continue to work.

def New (type, name='type'):
	"""
	Creates a new Object.  Deprecated; instead use Scene.objects.new().
	@type type: string
	@param type: The Object type: 'Armature', 'Camera', 'Curve', 'Lamp', 'Lattice',
		'Mball', 'Mesh', 'Surf' or 'Empty'.
	@type name: string
	@param name: The name of the object. By default, the name will be the same
		as the object type.
		If the name is already in use, this new object will have a number at the end of the name.
	@return: The created Object.

	I{B{Example:}}

	The example below creates a new Lamp object and puts it at the default
	location (0, 0, 0) in the current scene::

		object = Blender.Object.New('Lamp')
		lamp = Blender.Lamp.New('Spot')
		object.link(lamp)

		Blender.Redraw()
	@Note: if an object is created but is not linked to object data, and the
	object is not linked to a scene, it will be deleted when the Python
	object is deallocated.  This is because Blender does not allow objects
	to exist without object data unless they are Empty objects.  Scene.link()

	Get the Object from Blender.

			- ():     A list with all Objects in the current scene.

	I{B{Example 1:}}

def GetSelected ():
	"""
	Get the user selection. If no objects are selected, an empty list will be returned.
	
	@return: A list of all selected Objects in the current scene.

	The example below works on the default scene. Select one or more objects and
	the script will print the selected objects::
		import Blender

		objects = Blender.Object.GetSelected()
		print objects
	@note: The active object will always be the first object in the list (if selected).
	@note: The user selection is made up of selected objects from Blender's current scene only.
