pymel.core.context.wireContext

wireContext(*args, **kwargs)

This command creates a tool that can be used to create a wire deformer.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
crossingEffect (ce)		float
	Set the amount of convolution filter effect. Varies from fully convolved at 0 to a simple additive effect at 1. Default is 0.
deformationOrder (do)		unicode
	Set the appropriate flag that determines the position in in the deformation hierarchy.
dropoffDistance (dds)		float
	Set the dropoff Distance for the wires.
envelope (en)		float
	Set the envelope value for the deformer. Default is 1.0
exclusive (exc)		bool
	Set exclusive mode on or off
exclusivePartition (ep)		unicode
	Set the name of an exclusive partition.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
exists (ex)		bool
	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.
groupWithBase (gw)		bool
	Groups the wire with the base wire so that they can easily be moved together to create a ripple effect. Default is false.
history (ch)		bool
	If this is a tool command, turn the construction history on for the tool in question.
holder (ho)		bool
	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.
image1 (i1)		unicode
image2 (i2)		unicode
image3 (i3)		unicode
	Contexts support up to three icons that represent the tool associated with the context.
localInfluence (li)		float
	Set the amount of local influence a wire has with respect to other wires. Default is 0.
name (n)		unicode
	If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.
