pymel.core.modeling.extendCurve

extendCurve(*args, **kwargs)

This command extends a curve or creates a new curve as an extension

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.extendCurve

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds

# to extend the start of a curve with a line of distance 3
pm.extendCurve( em=0, et=0, s=True, d=3.0 )

# to extend the end of a curve to a point
pm.extendCurve( em=2, s=False, ip=(1, 2, 3) )
