rotationInterpolation([convert=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
rotationInterpolation is undoable, queryable, and NOT
editable.
The rotationInterpolation command converts the rotation curves to
the desired rotation interpolation representation. For example, an
Euler-angled representation can be converted to Quaternion.
None
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Specifies the rotation interpolation mode for the curves after
converting. Possible choices are "none" (unsynchronized
Euler-angled curves which are compatible with pre-4.0 Maya curves),
"euler" (Euler-angled curves with keyframes kept synchronized),
"quaternion" (quaternion curves with keyframes kept synchronized,
but the exact interpolation depends on individual tangents),
"quaternionSlerp" (applies quaternion slerp interpolation to the
curve, ignoring tangent settings), "quaternionSquad" (applied cubic
interpolation to the curve in quaternion space, ignoring tangent
settings) |
