pymel.core.context.artFluidAttrCtx

artFluidAttrCtx(*args, **kwargs)

This command is used to paint properties (such as density) of selected fluid volumes. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
accopacity (aco)		bool
	Sets opacity accumulation on/off. C: Default is false (Except for sculpt tool for which it is true by default). Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
activeListChangedProc (alp)		unicode
afterStrokeCmd (asc)		unicode
alphaclamp (alc)		unicode
alphaclamplower (acl)		float
alphaclampupper (acu)		float
attrSelected (asl)		unicode
autoSave (autoSave)		unicode
	A MEL command to save the fluid state. Called before an event which could overwrite unsaved values of painted fluid properties. Such events include: changing current time, changing the current paintable property, and exiting the paint tool. (To turn auto-save off, pass in an empty-valued string argument: e.g., “”.)
beforeStrokeCmd (bsc)		unicode
brushalignment (bra)		bool
	Specifies the path brush alignemnt. If true, the brush will align to stroke path, otherwise it will align to up vector. C: Default is true. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
brushfeedback (brf)		bool
	Specifies if the brush additional feedback should be drawn. C: Default is TRUE. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.

delaySelectionChanged (dsc)		bool
	Internal use only. Under normal conditions, the tool responds to changes to the selection list so it can update its list of paintable geometry. When -dsl true is used, the tool will not update its paintable list until a corresponding -dsl false is called.

	Sets the current brush drag state for resizing or offsetting the brush (like the ‘b’ and ‘m’ default hotkeys). The string argument is one of: “radius”, “lowradius”, “opacity”, “value”, “depth”, “displacement”, “uvvector” or “none”. C: Default is “none”.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.artFluidAttrCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a new fluidAttr paint context, then switch to it
pm.artFluidAttrCtx('artFluidAttrCtx1')
# Result: u'artFluidAttrCtx1' #
pm.setToolTo('artFluidAttrCtx1')

# Set to paint the color property on the fluid
pm.artFluidAttrCtx('artFluidAttrCtx1', edit=True, property='color')
