pymel.core.context.curveCVCtx¶

curveCVCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶

The curveCVCtx command creates a new context for creating curves by placing control vertices (CVs).

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
bezier / bez		bool
degree / d		int
	valid values are 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7. Default is degree 3.
exists / ex		bool
	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
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.
multEndKnots / me		bool
	Default is true. False means that the curve will not pass through the end control vertices (CVs).
name / n		unicode
	If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
preserveShape / ps		bool
rational / rl		bool
refit / rf		bool
symmetry / sm		bool
uniform / un		bool
	Default is true, which means uniform parameterization will be used. False means chord length parameterization. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.curveCVCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# To create a new context that will create curves of degree 5:
pm.curveCVCtx( "curveCVContext", degree=5 )
# Result: u'curveCVContext' #
pm.setToolTo("curveCVContext")

# To query the degree of an existing context:
pm.curveCVCtx( "curveCVContext", q=True, degree=True )
# Result: 5 #

# To edit the degree of an existing context:
pm.curveCVCtx( "curveCVContext", , e=True, degree=7 )
