    This function forms the basic building block
    with which to create new nodes in Maya.

    .. note:: Missing arguments `shared` and `skipSelect`
    .. tip:: For additional performance, `type` may be given as an MTypeId

    Arguments:
        type (str): Type name of new node, e.g. "transform"
        name (str, optional): Sets the name of the newly-created node
        parent (Node, optional): Specifies the parent in the DAG under which
            the new node belongs

    Example:
        >>> node = createNode("transform")  # Type as string
        >>> node = createNode(tTransform)  # Type as ID

    """
