Synopsis

jointDisplayScale [-absolute] [-ikfk float] float

jointDisplayScale is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This action modifies and queries the current display size of skeleton joints. The joint display size is controlled by a scale factor; a scale factor of 1 sets the display size to its default, which is 1 in diameter. With the plain format, the float argument is the factor with respect to the default size. When -a/absolute is used, the float argument refers to the diameter of the joint display size.

Return value

floatReturns current display size of skeleton joints.

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