// CLASS: MObject
//
// *****************************************************************************
//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MObject)
//
// MObject is the generic class for accessing all Maya internal modelling,
// animation and rendering Objects, collectively referred to as Model Objects,
// through the API. This includes all Dependency Graph (DG) Nodes, of which
// Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) Nodes are a subset.
//
// Each instance of an MObject represents a specific Node or Attribute on a
// Node in the DG. Under the C++ class scheme MObjects simply have type
// MObject with no base or derived hierarchy. However, MObjects may be many
// different types of Model objects, from Attributes to Xforms, including
// components of geometry such as Control Vertices (CV), faces, edges and
// vertices. This allows many different types of objects to be moved accessed
// through the API without undue concern on the part of plug-in developers for
// the type of object being manipulated.
//
// Since it is impractical to provide every applicable method on MObjects, the
// methods applicable to Maya Objects are encapsulated in Function Sets.
// Function Sets can be attached to compatible MObjects to provide an external
// interface to methods appropriate to that MObject.
//
// The link between an MObject and the role it performs as a Maya Model object,
// as well as the compatibility between MObjects and Function Sets is managed
// by the API Run-Time Type Identification (RTTI) system. The two key concepts
// of this system are the Maya Object type and the Function Set type (both in
// MFn::Type). All MObjects have one and only one Maya Object type. All
// Function Sets have one and only one Function Set type. MObjects may,
// however, be compatible with many types of Function Sets. This compatibility
// follows the class hierarchy of the Function Sets. Thus an MObject with Maya
// Object type MFn::kNurbsSurface would be compatible with MFnNurbsSurface,
// MFnDagNode, MFnDependencyNode, MFnNamedObject and MFnBase.
//
// Any MObject can be queried with the MObject::hasFn() method to determine if
// it is comaptible with a given Function Set.
//
// The purpose of the Base Function Set (MFnBase) is to provide methods for
// determining whether or not a Function Set is compatible with a given Maya
// Object (MObject) type (MFn::Type) or a specific MObject. See:
// MFnBase::hasObj(MFn::Type)
// and
// MFnBase::hasObj(const MObject &)
//
// As well, this Function Set provides virtual methods for determining the type
// of a Function Set under the API RTTI system.
