Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
Database manipulation
-addRig(-add)	string string string
Adds a new stereo rig definition. This flag takes 3 arguments: name, language, create: name: A unique name for the rig type. lang: The language used for the callback. Valid values are "Python" and "MEL". Use the Python interface when possible. create: Procedure used to create a new rig of this type. This procedure takes no argument, and must return an array of strings. The first element is the root DAG node of the rig. The second and third elements are respectively the left and right cameras.
-language(-l)	string string
Changes the language of an existing rig definition. Valid values are "Python" and "MEL". This flag takes 2 arguments: the name of the existing rig definition and the language keyword.
-creationProcedure(-cp)	string string
Changes the creation procedure of an existing rig definition. This flag takes 2 arguments: the name of the existing rig definition and the procedure.
-delete(-d)	string
Removes the definition of a stereo rig. The argument must be the name of one of the rigs added using the add flag.
-defaultRig(-dr)	string
Sets the default rig tool. The argument must be the name of one of the rigs added using the add flag. Returns True if the default could be set, False otherwise.
Database query
-listRigs(-lr)
When present, returns the list of all defined rigs. All other flags are ignored.
-rigDefinition(-rd)	string
Returns the definition of a rig, in the same format as the add flag. A string array containing lang, create. If an empty string is passed as the argument, then the default rig is used.

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can be used more than once in a command.

// Make the second one the default rig

// Remove it

// Query the default rig.
