Synopsis

texRotateContext [-editPivotMode boolean] [-exists] [-image1 string] [-image2 string] [-image3 string] [-position] [-snap boolean] [-snapRelative boolean] [-snapValue float] [-tweakMode boolean]

texRotateContext is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command can be used to create, edit, or query a rotate context for the UV Editor. Note that the above flag controls the global behaviour of all texture editor rotate contexts. Changing one context independently is not allowed. Changing a context's behaviour using the above flag, will change all existing texture editor rotate contexts.

Return value

string: name of the context created

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

Flags

editPivotMode, exists, image1, image2, image3, position, snap, snapRelative, snapValue, tweakMode
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-editPivotMode(-epm) boolean query
Returns true when the manipulator is in edit pivot mode.
-exists(-ex) create
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
-image1(-i1) string createqueryedit
First of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image2(-i2) string createqueryedit
Second of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-image3(-i3) string createqueryedit
Third of three possible icons representing the tool associated with the context.
-position(-p) query
Returns the current position of the manipulator.
-snap(-s) boolean queryedit
Sets or queries whether snapping is to be used.
-snapRelative(-sr) boolean queryedit
Sets or queries whether snapping is relative.
-snapValue(-sv) float queryedit
Sets or queries the size of the snapping increment.
-tweakMode(-twk) boolean queryedit
When true, the manipulator is hidden and highlighted components can be selected and rotated in one step using a click-drag interaction.
