scaleKeyCtx(
contextName
, [exists=boolean], [history=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [name=string], [scaleSpecifiedKeys=boolean], [type=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.
scaleKeyCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates a context which may be used to scale keyframes
within the graph editor
| string | Scale type, if the type flag was queried |
| boolean | Whether specified keys should be scaled, if the scaleSpecifiedKeys flag was queried |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
|
exists(ex)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Returns true or false depending upon whether the
specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.

|
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.
|
|
scaleSpecifiedKeys(ssk)
|
boolean
|
|

the non-selected keys will be adjusted during the scale. The default
is true.
|
|
type(typ)
|
string
|
|
