curveCVCtx([degree=uint], [exists=boolean], [history=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [multEndKnots=boolean], [name=string], [uniform=boolean])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
curveCVCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The curveCVCtx command creates a new context for creating curves
by placing control vertices (CVs).
| string | (name of the new context) |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
degree, exists, history, image1, image2, image3, multEndKnots, name, uniform

Properties |
|
degree(d)
|
uint
|
  
|
|
valid values are 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7. Default is degree 3.
|
|
exists(ex)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Returns true or false depending upon whether the
specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
|
|
history(ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on
for the tool in question.
|
|
image1(i1)
|
string
|
|
|
First of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
image2(i2)
|
string
|
|
|
Second of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
image3(i3)
|
string
|
|
|
Third of three possible icons representing the tool
associated with the context.
|
|
multEndKnots(me)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Default is true. False means that the curve will not pass through the end control vertices (CVs).
|
|
name(n)
|
string
|
|
|
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
|
|
uniform(un)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Default is true, which means uniform parameterization will be used. False means chord length parameterization.
|

Flag can appear in Create mode of command
|
Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
|
|
Flag can appear in Query mode of command
|
Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
