Synopsis

texCutContext [-adjustSize boolean] [-displayShellBorders boolean] [-edgeSelectSensitive float] [-exists] [-history boolean] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-mode string] [-moveRatio float] [-name string] [-size float] [-steadyStroke boolean] [-steadyStrokeDistance float] [-touchToSew boolean] contextName

texCutContext is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command creates a context for cut uv tool. This context only works in the UV editor.

Return value

floatSize of the brush rung, when querying brushSize
floatThe value of the edge selection sensitivity, when querying the edgeSelectSensitive flag.
booleanWhether steady stroke is on or not, when querying the steadyStroke flag.
floatThe distance for a steady stroke, when querying the steadyStrokeDistance flag.
floatThe cut open ratio relative to edge length, when querying the moveRatio flag.
stringThe type of effect the brush will perform, when querying the mode flag.
booleanWhether shell borders are displayed, when querying the displayShellBorders flag.
booleanCurrent touch-to-sew mode, when querying the touchToSew flag.

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

-image2(-i2) string createqueryedit
Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image3(-i3) string createqueryedit
Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-mode(-m) string queryedit
Specifies the type of effect the brush will perform, Cut or Sew.
-moveRatio(-mvr) float queryedit

-name(-n) string create
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
-size(-sz) float queryedit
Brush size value of the brush ring.
-steadyStroke(-ss) boolean queryedit
Turn on steady stroke or not.
