pymel.core.context.artSetPaintCtx¶

artSetPaintCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶

This tool allows the user to modify the set membership (add, transfer, remove cvs) on nurbs surfaces using Maya Artisan’s interface. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
accopacity / aco		bool
	Sets opacity accumulation on/off. C: Default is false (Except for sculpt tool for which it is true by default). Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
afterStrokeCmd / asc		unicode
beforeStrokeCmd / bsc		unicode
brushalignment / bra		bool
	Specifies the path brush alignemnt. If true, the brush will align to stroke path, otherwise it will align to up vector. C: Default is true. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
brushfeedback / brf		bool
	Specifies if the brush additional feedback should be drawn. C: Default is TRUE. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
clear / clr		bool
	Floods all cvs/vertices to the current value.
dragSlider / dsl		unicode
	Sets the current brush drag state for resizing or offsetting the brush (like the ‘b’ and ‘m’ default hotkeys). The string argument is one of: radius, lowradius, opacity, value, depth, displacement, uvvectoror none. C: Default is none.
dynclonemode / dcm		bool
exists / ex		bool
	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.

	If true, it will expand the name of the export file and concatenate it with the surface name. Otherwise it will take the name as it is. C: Default is true.

	Specifies the export channel.The valid entries here are: alpha, luminance, rgb, rgba. C: Default is luminance/rgb. Q: When queried, it returns a string.

	Exports the attribute map and saves to a specified file.
exportfilesizex / fsx		int
	Specifies the width of the attribute map to export. C: Default width is 256. Q: When queried, it returns an integer.
exportfilesizey / fsy		int
	Specifies the width of the attribute map to export. C: Default width is 256. Q: When queried, it returns an integer.
exportfiletype / eft		unicode
	Specifies the image file format. It can be one of the following: iff, tiff, jpeg, alias, rgb, fitpostScriptEPS, softimage, wavefrontRLA, wavefrontEXP. C: default is tiff. Q: When queried, it returns a string.
history / ch		bool
	If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on for the tool in question.
image1 / i1		unicode
	First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
image2 / i2		unicode
	Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
image3 / i3		unicode
	Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
importfileload / ifl		unicode
	Load the attribute map a specified file.
importfilemode / ifm		unicode
	Specifies the channel to import. The valid entries here are: alpha, luminance, red, green, blue, and rgbC: Default is alpha. Q: When queried, it returns a string.
importreassign / irm		bool
	Specifies if the multiply atrribute maps are to be reassigned while importing. Only maps previously exported from within Artisan can be reassigned. C: Default is FALSE. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
lastRecorderCmd / lrc		unicode
lastStampName / lsn		unicode
lowerradius / lr		float
	Sets the lower size of the brush (only apply on tablet).
makeStroke / mst		int
mappressure / mp		unicode
	Sets the tablet pressure mapping when the table is used. There are four options: none- the pressure has no effect, opacity- the pressure is mapped to the opacity, radius- the is mapped to modify the radius of the brush, both- the pressure modifies both the opacity and the radius. C: Default is none. Q: When queried, it returns a string.
name / n		unicode
	If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
objectsetnames / osn		unicode
opacity / op		float
	Sets the brush opacity. C: Default is 1.0. Q: When queried, it returns a float.

outwhilepaint / owp		bool
	Specifies if the brush outline should be drawn while painting. C: Default is FALSE. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
paintmode / pm		unicode

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a new set membership paint context, then switch to it
pm.artSetPaintCtx('artSetPaintCtx1')
# Result: u'artSetPaintCtx1' #
pm.setToolTo('artSetPaintCtx1')

# Set brush's radius to 2.0, lower radius to 0.5
pm.artSetPaintCtx('artSetPaintCtx1', edit=True, r=2.0, lr=0.5)
# Result: u'artSetPaintCtx1' #
