.. py:class:: DagNode(*args, **kwargs)

   Bases: :py:obj:`maya.core.node.Node`


   DAG-capable node wrapper with parent/children queries.


   .. py:method:: create(cmd, name=None, parent=None)
      :classmethod:


      Create a node using a maya.cmds command name.

      Example: 'joint', 'polySphere'.



   .. py:method:: get_color(as_color=False)

      Get the display color of the controller shapes.

      Args:
          as_color (bool, optional): If True, and if its RGB colors,
               return a tik.core.color.Color obj.



   .. py:method:: get_parent()

      Return the parent as a wrapped node (or None if no parent).



   .. py:method:: is_deformable()

      Check if this node is a deformable geometry type.



   .. py:method:: rename(new_name)

      Rename the node.



   .. py:method:: select()

      Select this node in the Maya scene.



   .. py:method:: set_color(color)

      Set the display color of the controller shapes.

      Args:
          color (int | tuple | list | Color):
              - int: Maya index color (0-31)
              - tuple/list: RGB values (0.0 - 1.0)
              - tik.core.Color: Color object
              - None: Disable color override



   .. py:method:: set_parent(new_parent: Any, relative: bool = False) -> None

      Set a new parent for this node.

      Args:
          new_parent: New parent node (str, Node wrapper, or None for world).
          relative: If True, keep local transforms (no world-space compensation).
              If False (default), preserve world-space placement by compensating
              transforms after parenting (similar to cmds.parent(relative=False)).



   .. py:property:: bounding_box

      Return the world axis-aligned bounding box of this node.

      Returns:
          OpenMaya.MBoundingBox: The bounding box in world space.



   .. py:property:: children

      Return children as wrapped nodes.

      Returns:
          list: List of child node wrappers.



   .. py:property:: color

      Get or set the display color of the node.

      Can be set to:
          - int: Maya index color (0-31)
          - tuple/list: RGB values (0.0-1.0)
          - Color: tik.core.Color object
          - None: Disable color override



   .. py:property:: dag_path

      Return the MDagPath for this node.

      Returns:
          OpenMaya.MDagPath: The DAG path of this node.



   .. py:attribute:: is_dag
      :value: True



   .. py:property:: parent

      Return the parent as a wrapped node (or None if no parent).

      Returns:
          Node wrapper or None: The parent node, or None if this is a world-level node.



   .. py:property:: visibility

      Get or set the visibility of this transform node.
