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')
