pymel.core.context.propModCtx

propModCtx(*args, **kwargs)

Controls the proportional move context.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
animCurve (ac) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

Name of the anim curve to use as a drop-off curve. Only the 0 -side of the curve will be used and the distance will be mapped to “seconds”. The profile of the curve will be used as the profile for propmod function.

animCurveFalloff (acf) float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

The profile of the curve will be used as the profile for propmod function in both U and V. This will be scaled in U, V according to the paramters provided. The ratio of the U, V scaling parameters will dictate the footprint of the fuction while the curve itself provides the magnitudes.Flag can appear in Create mode of commandFlag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

animCurveParam (acp) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

Name of the anim curve to use as a drop-off curve. Only the 0 -side of the curve will be used and the distance will be mapped to “seconds”, where 1 second maps to 0.01 units in parametric space.

direction (d) float, float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Direction along which to compute the distance for the distance based drop-off functions. The default is (1 1 1)
exists (ex) bool  
   
image1 (i1) unicode  
   
image2 (i2) unicode  
   
image3 (i3) unicode  
   
linear (l) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

If using linear drop-off function, this is its slope. The default of -0.1 means the point at the locator moves with it and the point 10 units away doesn’t move at all.

linearParam (lp) float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If using parametric linear drop-off function, these specify its limits along the U and V directions.
nurbsCurve (nc) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Name of the nurbs curve to use as a drop-off curve. The closest point distance would be used as the drop off percentage.
powerCutoff (pc) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If using the power drop-off function, this is its distance cutoff value. The default is 10.0.
powerCutoffParam (pcp) float, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If using the power drop-off function, these specify one of it’s limits, 0 for U, and 1 and V. The default cutoff is 10.0.
powerDegree (pd) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If using the power drop-off function, this is its degree. The default is 3.
powerDegreeParam (pdp) float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If using the power drop-off function, this is its degree. The default is 3.
script (s) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

The name of the script to use to compute the drop-off. The script takes 6 floats as input - first 3 are the position of the move locator, the next 3 the position of the point to be manipulated. The script should return a drop-off coefficient which could be negative or zero.

scriptParam (sp) unicode ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 

The name of the script to use to compute the drop-off. The script takes 4 floats as input - first 2 are the parametric position of the move locator, the next 2 the parametric position of the point to be manipulated. The script should return a drop-off coefficient which could be negative or zero.

type (t) int ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Choose the type for the drop-off function. Legal values are 1 for linear, 2 for power, 3 for script, 4 for anim curve. The default is 1.
worldspace (ws) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Set the space in which the tool works. True for world space, false for parametric space.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.propModCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Edit type of propmod context.
pm.propModCtx( 'PropMod', e=True, t=1 )
# Result: u'PropMod' #

# Activate propmod context.
pm.setToolTo( 'PropMod' )

# Change the type and dropoff.
pm.propModCtx( 'PropMod', e=True, d=(0, 1, 0) )
# Result: u'PropMod' #
