pymel.core.context.texScaleContext¶

texScaleContext(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command can be used to create, edit, or query a scale context for the UV Editor. Note that the above flag controls the global behaviour of all texture editor scale contexts. Changing one context independently is not allowed. Changing a context’s behaviour using the above flag, will change all existing texture editor scale contexts.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
editPivotMode / epm		bool
	Returns true when manipulator is in edit pivot mode.
exists / ex		bool
	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
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.
position / p		bool
	Returns the current position of the manipulator.
preventNegativeScale / pns		bool
	Prevent negative scale for components.
snap / s		bool
	Sets or queries whether snapping is to be used.
snapRelative / sr		bool
	Sets or queries whether snapping is relative.
snapValue / sv		float
	Sets or queries the size of the snapping increment.
tweakMode / twk		bool
	When true, the manipulator is hidden and highlighted components can be selected and scaled in one step using a click-drag interaction. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.texScaleContext

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# To create a new scale context:
pm.texScaleContext()
# Result: u'texScaleContext1' #

# To query the position of the manipulator
pm.texScaleContext( 'texScaleContext', q=True, position=True )
# Result: [] #
