// PLUGIN NAME: Convert Edges To Contained Faces Command v1.0

// FILE: convertEdgesToFacesCmd.cpp

// DESCRIPTION: o MEL command that converts a selection of edges into a selection of faces that interconnect

//                the original edges (i.e. only faces whose composite edges are contained in the original edge

//                selection).  The command's return value is a string array that contains the names of all of

//                the new contained faces.

//              o This MEL command has no flags, returns a string array, and operates on selected edges.

//              o Example MEL usage:

//                   select -r pCube1.e[1:2] pCube1.e[6:7];

//                   string $convertedFaces[] = `convertEdgesToFaces`;

//                   // Result: pCube1.f[1] //

// TESTED ON: Maya 4.0 on Windows

// STEPS TO INSTALL: 1) Unzip the file convertEdgesToFaces_v1_0_Maya4_Windows.zip to any temporary directory.

//                   2) Copy the file convertEdgesToFacesCmd.mll to: /AW/Maya4.0/bin/plug-ins/

//                   3) Launch Maya, and load the plugin from Windows->Setting/Preferences->Plugin Manager.
