string
, [crossingEffect=linear], [deformationOrder=string], [dropoffDistance=linear], [envelope=linear], [exclusive=boolean], [exclusivePartition=string], [exists=boolean], [groupWithBase=boolean], [history=boolean], [holder=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [localInfluence=linear], [name=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
wireContext is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates a tool that can be used to
create a wire deformer.
| string | The name of the context created |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
|
crossingEffect(ce)
|
linear
|
  
|
|
Set the amount of convolution filter effect. Varies from fully
convolved at 0 to a simple additive effect at 1.
Default is 0.
|
|
deformationOrder(do)
|
string
|
|
|
Set the appropriate flag that determines the position in
in the deformation hierarchy.
|
|
dropoffDistance(dds)
|
linear
|
|
|
Set the dropoff Distance for the wires.
|
|
envelope(en)
|
linear
|
|
|
Set the envelope value for the deformer. Default is 1.0
|
|
exclusive(exc)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Set exclusive mode on or off.
|
|
exclusivePartition(ep)
|
string
|
|
|
Set the name of an exclusive partition.
|
|
exists(ex)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Returns true or false depending upon whether the
specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
|
|
groupWithBase(gw)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Groups the wire with the base wire so that they can easily be moved
together to create a ripple effect.
Default is false.
|
|
history(ch)
|
boolean
|
|
|
If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on
for the tool in question.
|
|
holder(ho)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Controls whether the user can specify holders for the wires
from the wire context. A holder is a curve that you can use to limit
the wire's deformation region. Default is false.
|
|
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.
|
|
localInfluence(li)
|
linear
|
|
|
Set the amount of local influence a wire has with respect
to other wires.
Default is 0.
|
|
name(n)
|
string
|
|
|
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
|
|
|
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.
