Synopsis

texScaleContext([position=boolean])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

texScaleContext is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command can be used to create, edit, or query a scale context for the UV Texture Editor. Note that the above flag controls the global behaviour of all texture editor scale contexts. Changing one context independently is not allowed. Changing a context's behaviour using the above flag, will change all existing texture editor scale contexts.

Return value

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

Python examples

import maya.cmds as cmds

# To create a new scale context:
cmds.texScaleContext()

# To query the position of the manipulator
cmds.texScaleContext( 'texScaleContext', q=True, position=True )
