Return value

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

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-addAttr(-aa)	string
Add a specific attribute to the In View Editor attribute list.
-currentNodeName(-cnn)
Returns the name of the first node that the context is attached to.
-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.
-incSnap(-is)	uint boolean
If true, the manipulator owned by the context will use incremental snapping for specified mode.
-incSnapRelative(-isr)	uint boolean
If true, the manipulator owned by the context will use relative incremental snapping for specified mode.
-incSnapUI(-isu)
Returns an array of elements indicating what kind of incremental snap UI is required by the manipulator owned by the context. If no UI is required, the result array will contain a single element of with the value 0. The other values and their meanings are: 1 - UI for linear incremental translate 2 - UI for incremental rotate 3 - UI for inclremental scale
-incSnapValue(-isv)	uint float
Supply the step value which the manipulator owned by the context will use for specified mode.
-iveVisible(-iv)	boolean
Set the In View Editor visible or not.
-lockSelection(-ls)	boolean
If true, this context will never change the current selection. By default this is set to false.
-moveActiveAttrDown(-md)
Move the In View Editor active attribute down one in the list.
-moveActiveAttrToTop(-mtt)
Move the In View Editor active attribute to the top of the list.
-moveActiveAttrUp(-mu)
Move the In View Editor active attribute up one in the list.
-name(-n)	string
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
-removeAttr(-ra)	string
Remove a specific attribute from the In View Editor attribute list.
-resetActiveAttr(-raa)
Reset the In View Editor active attribute to its default value.
-selectedAttributes(-sa)
Returns a list of the names of the attributes that are currently visible in the In View Editor.
-setAttrActive(-saa)	string
Set a specific attribute from the In View Editor attribute list active.
-setNextAttrActive(-sna)
Set the next attribute in the In View Editor attribute list active.
-setPreviousAttrActive(-spa)
Set the previous attribute in the In View Editor attribute list active.
-toggleIncSnap(-tis)
Toggles (enables/disables) snapping for all modes.
-toolFinish(-tf)	script
Supply the script that will be run when the user exits the script.
-toolStart(-ts)	script
Supply the script that will be run when the user first enters the script

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.
