curveCVCtx [-degree uint] [-multEndKnots boolean] [-uniform boolean]
curveCVCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
The curveCVCtx command creates a new context for creating curves
by placing control vertices (CVs).
| string | (name of the new context) |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Properties |
-degree(-d)
|
uint
|
  
|
|
valid values are 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7. Default is degree 3.
|
|
-multEndKnots(-me)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Default is true. False means that the curve will not pass through the end control vertices (CVs).
|
|
-uniform(-un)
|
boolean
|
|
|
Default is true, which means uniform parameterization will be used. False means chord length parameterization.

Flag can be used more than once in a command.

// To create a new context that will create curves of degree 5:
curveCVCtx -degree 5 curveCVContext;
setToolTo curveCVContext;
// To query the degree of an existing context:
curveCVCtx -q -degree curveCVContext;
// To edit the degree of an existing context:
curveCVCtx -e -degree 7 curveCVContext;
