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
	Use bezier curves
degree / d		int
	Curve degree
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
	Set this flag to make the operation preserve the shape
preserveShapeFraction / pf		float
	Fraction value used when preserving the shape
refit / rf		bool
	Set this flag to refit the curve
uniform / un		bool
	Should the curve use uniform 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' #
