polyUVRectangle [-caching boolean] [-constructionHistory boolean] [-name string] [-nodeState int]
polyUVRectangle is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Given two vertices, does one of the following:
1) If the vertices define opposite corners of a rectangular area of quads,
assigns a grid of UVs spanning the 0-1 area to that rectangle.
2) If the vertices define an edge in a rectangular and topologically
cylindrical area of quads, assigns UVs spanning the 0-1 area to that
cylindrical patch, using the defined edge as the U=0 edge.
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
|
| Common flags |
-caching(-cch)
|
boolean
|
 
|
|
Toggle caching for all attributes so that no recomputation is needed.
|
|
-constructionHistory(-ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If
construction history is on then the corresponding node will be
inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history
is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object.
Note: If the object already has construction history then
this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into
the history chain.
|
|
-name(-n)
|
string
|
|
|
Give a name to the resulting node.
|
|
-nodeState(-nds)
|
int
|
|
|
Defines how to evaluate the node.
- 0: Normal
- 1: PassThrough
- 2: Blocking
- 3: Internally disabled. Will return to Normal state when enabled
- 4: Internally disabled. Will return to PassThrough state when enabled
- 5: Internally disabled. Will return to Blocking state when enabled
