  Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
history / ch bool ../../../_images/create.gif
  If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on for the tool in question.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.threePointArcCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# To create a new context that will create curves of degree 1:
pm.threePointArcCtx( "arcContext", degree=1 )
# Result: u'arcContext' #
pm.setToolTo("arcContext")

# To query the degree of an existing context:
pm.threePointArcCtx( "arcContext", q=True, degree=True )
# Result: 1 #

# To edit the degree of an existing context:
pm.threePointArcCtx( "arcContext", e=True, degree=3 )
# Result: u'arcContext' #
