Filters

The most common activity in a minq query is filtering: winnowing a stream down to a more precisely targeted selection on of objects.

There are a couple of distinct types of filtering.

only() to filter by type

The only() function of a stream filters by Maya node types. For example

 Scene().only(Meshes)

will yield only mesh nodes: it's equivalent to cmds.ls(type=mesh`)

where() to filter by a condition

like() to filter by name
