pymel.core.context.tumbleCtx¶

tumbleCtx(*args, **kwargs)¶

This command can be used to create, edit, or query a tumble context.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
alternateContext / ac		bool
	Set the ALT+MMB and ALT+SHIFT+MMB to refer to this context.
autoOrthoConstrain / aoc		bool
	Automatically constrain horizontal and vertical rotations when the camera is orthographic. The shift key can be used to unconstrain the rotation.
autoSetPivot / asp		bool
	Automatically set the camera pivot to the selection or tool effect region
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.
localTumble / lt		int
	Describes what point the camera will tumble around: 0 for the camera’s tumble pivot1 for the camera’s center of interest2 for the camera’s local axis, offset by its tumble pivot
name / n		unicode
	If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
objectTumble / ot		bool
	Make the camera tumble around the selected object, if true.
orthoLock / ol		bool
	Orthographic cameras cannot be tumbled while orthoLock is on.
orthoStep / os		float
	Specify the angular step in degrees for orthographic rotation. If camera is orthographic and autoOrthoConstrain is toggled on the rotation will be stepped by this amount.
toolName / tn		unicode
	Name of the specific tool to which this command refers.
tumbleScale / ts		float
	Set the rotation speed. A tumble scale of 1.0 will result in in 40 degrees of rotation per 100 pixels of cursor drag. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.tumbleCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.tumbleCtx( 'tumbleContext', ts=1.0, lt=False, ac=False, ol=True )
