Synopsis

curveEditorCtx [-direction int] [-relativeTangentSize float] [-title string]

curveEditorCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

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

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-title(-t)	string
The title for the tool.
-direction(-dir)	int
Query the current direction of the tangent control. Always zero for the curve case. In the surface case, its 0 for the normal direction, 1 for U direction and 2 for V direction.
-relativeTangentSize(-rts)	float
Relative size of the tangent manipulator handle. Helps to adjust as the surface parameterization controls the size of the tangent, even if the shape of the surface remains the same. The default is 4.

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.

MEL examples

// Create a curve
curve -p 0 0 0 -p 3 5 6 -p 5 6 7 -p 9 9 9 -p 12 10 2 -k 0 -k 0 -k 0 -k 1 -k 2 -k 2 -k 2;
// Result: curve1 //
// Create a new curve editor context to modify the curve, then switch to it
// You can modify the curve using the manipulator handle
curveEditorCtx curveEditorCtx1;
setToolTo curveEditorCtx1;
