pymel.core.context.artSetPaintCtx

artSetPaintCtx(*args, **kwargs)

This tool allows the user to modify the set membership (add, transfer, remove cvs) on nurbs surfaces using Maya Artisan’s interface. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.artSetPaintCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a new set membership paint context, then switch to it
pm.artSetPaintCtx('artSetPaintCtx1')
# Result: u'artSetPaintCtx1' #
pm.setToolTo('artSetPaintCtx1')

# Set brush's radius to 2.0, lower radius to 0.5
pm.artSetPaintCtx('artSetPaintCtx1', edit=True, r=2.0, lr=0.5)
# Result: u'artSetPaintCtx1' #
