pymel.core.context.artAttrPaintVertexCtx

static context.artAttrPaintVertexCtx(*args, **kwargs)

This is a context command to set the flags on the artAttrContext, which is the base context for attribute painting operations. All commands require the name of the context as the last argument as this provides the name of the context to create, edit or query. This is a context command to set the flags on the Paint color on vertex Tool context. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Example:

import pymel.core as pm
