pymel.core.animation.flexor

static animation.flexor(*args, **kwargs)

This command creates a flexor. A flexor a deformer plus a set of driving attributes. For example, a flexor might be a sculpt object that is driven by a joint’s x rotation and a cube’s y position.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
atBones (ab)		bool
	Add a flexor at bones. Flexor will be added at each of the selected bones, or at all bones in the selected skeleton if the -ts flag is also specified.
atJoints (aj)		bool
	Add a flexor at joints. Flexor will be added at each of the selected joints, or at all joints in the selected skeleton if the -ts flag is specified.
deformerCommand (dc)		unicode
	String representing underlying deformer command string.
list (l)		bool
	List all possible types of flexors. Query mode only.
name (n)		unicode
	This flag is obsolete. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
noScale (ns)		bool
	Do not auto-scale the flexor to the size of the nearby geometry.
toSkeleton (ts)		bool
	Specifies that flexors will be added to the entire skeleton rather than just to the selected joints/bones. This flag is used in conjunction with the -ab and -aj flags.
type (typ)		unicode
	Specifies which type of flexor. To see list of valid types, use the flexor -query -listcommand.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.flexor

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a sculpt object with a max displacement of 4.0 at the
# selected joint
pm.flexor( typ='sculpt', dc="sculpt -mxd 4.0", aj=True )

# Create a lattice flexor at all joints on the skeleton:
pm.flexor( type='jointLattice', aj=True, ts=True )

# Create a lattice flexor of dimensions 4 6 4 on the selected joint
pm.flexor( type='jointLattice', dc="lattice -dv 4 6 4 -cp -dualBase true", aj=True)
