pymel.core.context.wireContext¶

wireContext(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command creates a tool that can be used to create a wire deformer.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
crossingEffect / ce		float
	Set the amount of convolution filter effect. Varies from fully convolved at 0 to a simple additive effect at 1. Default is 0.
deformationOrder / do		unicode
	Set the appropriate flag that determines the position in in the deformation hierarchy.
dropoffDistance / dds		float
	Set the dropoff Distance for the wires.
envelope / en		float
	Set the envelope value for the deformer. Default is 1.0
exclusive / exc		bool
	Set exclusive mode on or off.
exclusivePartition / ep		unicode
	Set the name of an exclusive partition.
exists / ex		bool
	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
groupWithBase / gw		bool
	Groups the wire with the base wire so that they can easily be moved together to create a ripple effect. Default is false.
history / ch		bool
	If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on for the tool in question.
holder / ho		bool
	Controls whether the user can specify holders for the wires from the wire context. A holder is a curve that you can use to limit the wire’s deformation region. Default is false.
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.
localInfluence / li		float
	Set the amount of local influence a wire has with respect to other wires. Default is 0.
name / n		unicode
	If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.wireContext

Example:
