Synopsis

manipOptions [-forceRefresh] [-handleSize float] [-linePick float] [-lineSize float] [-planeHandleOffset int] [-pointSize float] [-preselectHighlight boolean] [-refreshMode int] [-relative] [-scale float] [-showPlaneHandles int]

manipOptions is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

Changes the global manipulator parameters

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

manipOptions -r -hs 1.5 -ls 1.5;

// All manips are scaled by 2
manipOptions -s 2;
