Synopsis

curveCVCtx [-degree uint] [-multEndKnots boolean] [-uniform boolean]

curveCVCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.

The curveCVCtx command creates a new context for creating curves by placing control vertices (CVs).

Return value

string (name of the new context)

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

Flags

degree, multEndKnots, uniform
Long name (short name) Argument types Properties
-degree(-d) uint createqueryedit
valid values are 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7. Default is degree 3.
-multEndKnots(-me) boolean createqueryedit
Default is true. False means that the curve will not pass through the end control vertices (CVs).
-uniform(-un) boolean createqueryedit
Default is true, which means uniform parameterization will be used. False means chord length parameterization.

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

// To create a new context that will create curves of degree 5:
curveCVCtx -degree 5 curveCVContext;
setToolTo curveCVContext;

// To query the degree of an existing context:
curveCVCtx -q -degree curveCVContext;

// To edit the degree of an existing context:
curveCVCtx -e -degree 7 curveCVContext;
