Synopsis

polyCutUVCtx( contextName , [loopSpeed=int], [mapBordersColor=[float, float, float]], [showCheckerMap=boolean], [showTextureBorders=boolean], [showUVShellColoring=boolean], [steadyStroke=boolean], [steadyStrokeDistance=float], [symmetry=int])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

polyCutUVCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Create a new context to cut UVs on polygonal objects

Return value

booleanWhether steady stroke is on or not, when querying the steadyStroke flag.
floatThe distance for a steady stroke, when querying the steadyStrokeDistance flag.

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