Synopsis

curveEPCtx [-bezier boolean] [-degree uint] [-exists] [-history boolean] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-name string] [-preserveShape] [-preserveShapeFraction float] [-refit] [-uniform boolean]

curveEPCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-bezier(-bez)	boolean
Use bezier curves
-degree(-d)	uint
Curve degree
-exists(-ex)
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-history(-ch)	boolean
If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on for the tool in question.
-image1(-i1)	string
First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image2(-i2)	string
Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image3(-i3)	string
Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-name(-n)	string
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
-preserveShape(-ps)
Set this flag to make the operation preserve the shape
-preserveShapeFraction(-pf)	float
Fraction value used when preserving the shape
-refit(-rf)
Set this flag to refit the curve
-uniform(-un)	boolean
Should the curve use uniform parameterization?

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can be used more than once in a command.

MEL examples

// To create a new context that will create curves of degree 5:
curveEPCtx -degree 5;

// To query the degree of an existing context:
curveEPCtx -q -degree curveContextEP1;

// To edit the degree of an existing context:
curveEPCtx -e -degree 7 curveContextEP1;
