pymel.core.context.curveEditorCtx¶
- curveEditorCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶
The curveEditorCtx command creates a new NURBS editor context, which is used to edit a NURBS curve or surface.
Flags:
Long Name / Short Name Argument Types Properties direction / dir int Query the current direction of the tangent control. Always zero for the curve case. In the surface case, its 0 for the normal direction, 1 for U direction and 2 for V direction. 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. relativeTangentSize / rts float Relative size of the tangent manipulator handle. Helps to adjust as the surface parameterization controls the size of the tangent, even if the shape of the surface remains the same. The default is 4. title / t unicode The title for the tool. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list. Derived from mel command maya.cmds.curveEditorCtx
Example:
import pymel.core as pm # Create a curve pm.curve(p=[(0, 0, 0), (3, 5, 6), (5, 6, 7), (9, 9, 9), (12, 10, 2)], k=[0,0,0,1,2,2,2]) # Result: nt.Transform(u'curve1') # # Create a new curve editor context to modify the curve, then switch to it # You can modify the curve using the manipulator handle pm.curveEditorCtx('curveEditorCtx1') pm.setToolTo('curveEditorCtx1')
