curveEPCtx [-degree uint] [-exists] [-history boolean] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-name string] [-uniform boolean]
curveEPCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The curveEPCtx command creates a new context for creating curves
by placing edit points.
| string | (name of the new context) |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

// To create a new context that will create curves of degree 5:
curveEPCtx -degree 5;
// To query the degree of an existing context:
curveEPCtx -q -degree curveContextEP1;
// To edit the degree of an existing context:
curveEPCtx -e -degree 7 curveContextEP1;
