texScaleContext([exists=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [position=boolean], [snap=boolean], [snapRelative=boolean], [snapValue=float])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
texScaleContext is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command can be used to create, edit, or query a
scale context for the UV Editor.
Note that the above flag controls the global behaviour of all texture
editor scale contexts. Changing one context independently is not
allowed. Changing a context's behaviour using the above flag, will
change all existing texture editor scale contexts.

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