// CLASS:    MPxCommand
//

//
// CLASS DESCRIPTION (MPxCommand)
//
//	This is the proxy class for creating MEL commands through the API.
//
//	Each command is derived from this one, and must have a doIt method,
//	and optionally undoIt, and redoIt methods.
//
//	The doIt method should collect whatever information is required to
//	do the task, and store it in local class data.  It should finally
//	call redoIt to make the command happen.  The redoIt method should
//	do the actual work, using only the local class data.  The undoIt
//	method should undo the actual work, again using only the local
//	class data.
//
//	Maya contains support for infinite levels of undo.  If a command
//	written in a plug-in changes the state of anything in Maya, it
//	should implement undoIt and redoIt methods.  As well, if the doIt
//	method returns successfully, Maya will call the method's isUndoable
//	method immediately afterwards.  If that method returns true, the
//	instance of this class is retained and passed to Maya's undo
//	manager so that the undoIt and redoIt methods can be called when
//	appropriate.  If isUndoable returns false, the command instance is
//	destroyed right away.
//
//	So, for example, if a command supports both query and edit modes,
//	in query mode the command should set a flag so that the isUndoable
//	method returns false to prevent that command instance from being
//	retained by the undo manager.  In edit mode, where the state of
//	Maya is changed, isUndoable should return true to enable undo and
//	redo.
