pymel.core.modeling.closeCurve¶

closeCurve(*args, **kwargs)¶

The closeCurve command closes a curve, making it periodic. The pathname to the newly closed curve and the name of the resulting dependency node are returned. If a curve is not specified in the command, then the first active curve will be used.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
blendBias / bb		float
	Skew the result toward the first or the second curve depending on the blend value being smaller or larger than 0.5. Default:0.5
blendKnotInsertion / bki		bool
	If set to true, insert a knot in one of the original curves (relative position given by the parameter attribute below) in order to produce a slightly different effect. Default:false
caching / cch		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory / ch		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off.
curveOnSurface / cos		bool
	If possible, create 2D curve as a result.
frozen / fzn		bool
name / n		unicode
	Sets the name of the newly-created node. If it contains namespace path, the new node will be created under the specified namespace; if the namespace does not exist, it will be created.
nodeState / nds		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
object / o		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node.
parameter / p		float
	The parameter value for the positioning of the newly inserted knot. Default:0.1
preserveShape / ps		int
	0 - without preserving the shape 1 - preserve shape 2 - blend Default:1 Common flags
replaceOriginal / rpo		bool
	Create in place(i.e., replace). Advanced flags

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.closeCurve

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.closeCurve( 'curve1', ch=True, ps=True )
# Closes curve1 with history and by preserving shape.  The result will
# be the name of the closed curve, and the name of the newly created
# dependency node.

pm.closeCurve( 'curve1', ch=True, ps=False )
# Closes curve1 with history and will not preserve the shape of the
# curve.

pm.closeCurve( 'curve1', ch=True, rpo=True )
# Closes curve1 with history and replaces the original curve with
# the closed one.
