Synopsis

curveAddPtCtx([exists=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

curveAddPtCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The curveAddPtCtx command creates a new curve add points context, which adds either control vertices (CVs) or edit points to an existing curve.
