This command can be used to create a show manip context. The show manip context will display manips for all selected objects that have valid manips defined for them.

Flags:
Long name (short name) Argument Types Properties
currentNodeName (cnn) bool ../../../_images/query.gif

history (ch) bool  
   
image1 (i1) unicode  
   
image2 (i2) unicode  
   
image3 (i3) unicode  
   
incSnap (incSnap) int, bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If true, the manipulator owned by the context will use incremental snapping for specified mode.
incSnapRelative (isr) int, bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If true, the manipulator owned by the context will use relative incremental snapping for specified mode.
incSnapUI (isu) bool ../../../_images/query.gif
 

Returns an array of elements indicating what kind of incremental snap UI is required by the manipulator owned by the context. If no UI is required, the result array will contain a single element of with the value 0. The other values and their meanings are: 1 - UI for linear incremental translate2 - UI for incremental rotate3 - UI for inclremental scale

incSnapValue (isv) int, float ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Supply the step value which the manipulator owned by the context will use for specified mode.
lockSelection (ls) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
If true, this context will never change the current selection. By default this is set to false.
name (n) unicode  
   
toggleIncSnap (tis) bool ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Toggles (enables/disables) snapping for all modes.
toolFinish (tf) script ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Supply the script that will be run when the user exits the script.
toolStart (ts) script ../../../_images/create.gif ../../../_images/query.gif ../../../_images/edit.gif
 
Supply the script that will be run when the user first enters the script
