This package is used for communication between emacs and Maya. For
example you can use it together with Shuji Narazaki's mel-mode to
send pieces of mel code to Maya and get the results back in emacs.
To use this, insert in your ~/.emacs file:
(add-hook
'mel-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(require 'etom)
(setq etom-default-host "localhost")
(setq etom-default-port 2222)
(local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-r") 'etom-send-region)
(local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-c") 'etom-send-buffer)
(local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-l") 'etom-send-buffer)
(local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-z") 'etom-show-buffer)))
You should have an open commandPort in Maya. You can do this with:
commandPort -eo -n ":2222";
Have fun!
