pymel.core.context.curveEditorCtx

curveEditorCtx(*args, **kwargs)

The curveEditorCtx command creates a new NURBS editor context, which is used to edit a NURBS curve or surface.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
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.
exists (ex)		bool
history (ch)		bool
image1 (i1)		unicode
image2 (i2)		unicode
image3 (i3)		unicode
name (n)		unicode
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 commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
title (t)		unicode
	The title for the tool.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.curveEditorCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# Create a curve
pm.curve(p=[(0, 0, 0), (3, 5, 6), (5, 6, 7), (9, 9, 9), (12, 10, 2)], k=[0,0,0,1,2,2,2])
# Result: nt.Transform(u'curve1') #

# Create a new curve editor context to modify the curve, then switch to it
# You can modify the curve using the manipulator handle
pm.curveEditorCtx('curveEditorCtx1')
pm.setToolTo('curveEditorCtx1')
