wireContext( string , [crossingEffect=linear], [deformationOrder=string],
[dropoffDistance=linear],
[envelope=linear], [exclusive=boolean], [exclusivePartition=string],
[exists=boolean], [groupWithBase=boolean], [history=boolean], [holder=boolean], [image1=string], [image2=string], [image3=string], [localInfluence=linear], [name=string])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
wireContext is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command creates a tool that can be used to create a wire
deformer.
| string |
The name of the context created |
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. |
|
image1(i1) |
string |
  |
|
|
image2(i2) |
string |
|
|
|
image3(i3) |
string |
|
|
Contexts support up to three icons that represent the tool
associated with the context. |
|
history(ch) |
boolean |
|
|
If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on for
the tool in question. |
|
name(n) |
string |
|
|
If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately. |
|
crossingEffect(ce) |
linear |
|
|
Set the amount of convolution filter effect. Varies from fully
convolved at 0 to a simple additive effect at 1. Default is 0. |
|
envelope(en) |
linear |
|
|
Set the envelope value for the deformer. Default is 1.0 |
|
dropoffDistance(dds) |
linear |
|
|
Set the dropoff Distance for the wires. |
|
holder(ho) |
boolean |
|
|
Controls whether the user can specify holders for the wires
from the wire context. A holder is a curve that you can use to
limit the wire's deformation region. Default is false. |
|
localInfluence(li) |
linear |
|
|
Set the amount of local influence a wire has with respect to
other wires. Default is 0. |
|
groupWithBase(gw) |
boolean |
|
|
Groups the wire with the base wire so that they can easily be
moved together to create a ripple effect. Default is false. |
|
deformationOrder(do) |
string |
|
|
Set the appropriate flag that determines the position in in the
deformation hierarchy. |
|
exclusive(exc) |
boolean |
|
|
Set exclusive mode on or off |
|
exclusivePartition(ep) |
string |
|
|
Set the name of an exclusive partition. |
|
| 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 have multiple arguments, passed
either as a tuple or a list. |
