pymel.core.context.curveEPCtx¶
- curveEPCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶
The curveEPCtx command creates a new context for creating curves by placing edit points.
Flags:
Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties bezier / bez bool degree / d int Curve degree. 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. name / n unicode If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately. preserveShape / ps bool preserveShapeFraction / pf float refit / rf 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.curveEPCtx
Example:
import pymel.core as pm # To create a new context that will create curves of degree 5: pm.curveEPCtx( degree=5 ) # Result: u'curveEPCtx1' # # To query the degree of an existing context: pm.curveEPCtx( 'curveEPCtx1', q=True, degree=True ) # Result: 5 # # To edit the degree of an existing context: pm.curveEPCtx( 'curveEPCtx1', e=True, degree=7 ) # Result: u'curveEPCtx1' #
