pymel.core.general.hide¶

hide(*args, **kwargs)¶

The hidecommand is used to make objects invisible. If no flags are used, the objects specified, or the active objects if none are specified, will be made invisible.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
allObjects / all		bool
	Make everything invisible (top level objects).
clearLastHidden / clh		bool
	Clear the last hidden list.
clearSelection / cs		bool
	Clear selection after the operation.
invertComponents / ic		bool
	Hide components that are not specified.
returnHidden / rh		bool
	Hide objects, but also return list of hidden objects.
testVisibility / tv		bool
	Do not change visibility, just test it (returns 1 is invisible, 2 if visible, 3 if partially visible). Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
