Synopsis

texTweakUVContext [-exists] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-position] [-tolerance float] [object]

texTweakUVContext is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command can be used to create, edit, or query a texture editor move manip context. Note that the above flags control the global behaviour of all texture editor move manip contexts. Changing one context independently is not allowed. Changing a context's behaviour using the above flags, will change all existing texture editor move manip contexts.

Return value

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