scaleKeyCtx( contextName , [exists=boolean], [history=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [name=string], [scaleSpecifiedKeys=boolean],
[type=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
scaleKeyCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates a context which may be used to scale keyframes
within the graph editor
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Argument types |
Properties |
exists(ex) |
boolean |
 |
|
Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified
object exists. Other flags are ignored. |
|

Contexts support up to three icons that represent the tool
associated with the context. |
|
history(ch) |
boolean |
