pymel.core.context.artSetPaintCtx

artSetPaintCtx(*args, **kwargs)

This tool allows the user to modify the set membership (add, transfer, remove cvs) on nurbs surfaces using Maya Artisan’s interface. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
accopacity (aco)		bool
	Sets opacity accumulation on/off. C: Default is false (Except for sculpt tool for which it is true by default). Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.

beforeStrokeCmd (bsc)		unicode
brushalignment (bra)		bool
	Specifies the path brush alignemnt. If true, the brush will align to stroke path, otherwise it will align to up vector. C: Default is true. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
brushfeedback (brf)		bool
	Specifies if the brush additional feedback should be drawn. C: Default is TRUE. Q: When queried, it returns a boolean.
clear (clr)		bool
	Floods all cvs/vertices to the current value.
dragSlider (dsl)		unicode
	Sets the current brush drag state for resizing or offsetting the brush (like the ‘b’ and ‘m’ default hotkeys). The string argument is one of: “radius”, “lowradius”, “opacity”, “value”, “depth”, “displacement”, “uvvector” or “none”. C: Default is “none”.

	Returns true or false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.

	Contexts support up to three icons that represent the tool associated with the context.
importfileload (ifl)		unicode
	Load the attribute map a specified file.
importfilemode (ifm)		unicode
	Specifies the channel to import. The valid entries here are: “alpha”, “luminance”, “red”, “green”, “blue”, and “rgb” C: Default is “alpha”. Q: When queried, it returns a string.

lowerradius (lr)		float
	Sets the lower size of the brush (only apply on tablet).
makeStroke (mst)		int
mappressure (mp)		unicode
	Sets the tablet pressure mapping when the table is used. There are four options: “none” - the pressure has no effect, “opacity” - the pressure is mapped to the opacity, “radius” - the is mapped to modify the radius of the brush, “both” - the pressure modifies both the opacity and the radius. C: Default is “none”. Q: When queried, it returns a string.
name (n)		unicode
	If this is a tool command, name the tool appropriately.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.artSetPaintCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a new set membership paint context, then switch to it
pm.artSetPaintCtx('artSetPaintCtx1')
# Result: u'artSetPaintCtx1' #
pm.setToolTo('artSetPaintCtx1')

# Set brush's radius to 2.0, lower radius to 0.5
pm.artSetPaintCtx('artSetPaintCtx1', edit=True, r=2.0, lr=0.5)
# Result: u'artSetPaintCtx1' #
