pymel.core.context.artFluidAttrCtx

artFluidAttrCtx(*args, **kwargs)

This command is used to paint properties (such as density) of selected fluid volumes. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
accopacity (aco) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Sets opacity accumulation on/off. C: Default is false (Except for sculpt tool for which it is true by default). Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
activeListChangedProc (alp) unicode  
   
afterStrokeCmd (asc) unicode  
   
alphaclamp (alc) unicode  
   
alphaclamplower (acl) float

attrSelected (asl) unicode  
   
autoSave (autoSave) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

A MEL command to save the fluid state. Called before an event which could overwrite unsaved values of painted fluid properties. Such events include: changing current time, changing the current paintable property, and exiting the paint tool. (To turn auto-save off, pass in an empty-valued string argument: e.g., .)

beforeStrokeCmd (bsc) unicode  
   
brushalignment (bra) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.artFluidAttrCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a new fluidAttr paint context, then switch to it
pm.artFluidAttrCtx('artFluidAttrCtx1')
# Result: u'artFluidAttrCtx1' #
pm.setToolTo('artFluidAttrCtx1')

# Set to paint the color property on the fluid
pm.artFluidAttrCtx('artFluidAttrCtx1', edit=True, property='color')
# Result: u'artFluidAttrCtx1' #
