tumbleCtx([alternateContext=boolean],
[autoOrthoConstrain=boolean],
[localTumble=int], [orthoLock=boolean], [orthoStep=angle], [tumbleScale=float])
Note: Strings representing object names and
arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the
synopsis.
tumbleCtx is undoable, queryable, and editable.
This command can be used to create, edit, or query a tumble
context.
| string |
The name of the context |
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
alternateContext, autoOrthoConstrain, localTumble, orthoLock, orthoStep, tumbleScale
| Long name (short name) |
Argument types |
Properties |
alternateContext(ac) |
boolean |
   |
|
Set the ALT+LMB and ALT+SFT+LMB to refer to this context. |
|
tumbleScale(ts) |
float |
|
|
Set the rotation speed. A tumble scale of 1.0 will result in in
40 degrees of rotation per 100 pixels of cursor drag. |
|
localTumble(lt) |
int |
|
|
Describes what point the camera will tumble around:
- 0 for the camera's tumble pivot
- 1 for the camera's center of interest
- 2 for the camera's local axis, offset by its tumble pivot
|
|
autoOrthoConstrain(aoc) |
boolean |
|
|
Automatically constrain horizontal and vertical rotations when
the camera is orthographic. The shift key can be used to
unconstrain the rotation. |
|
orthoStep(os) |
angle |
|
|
Specify the angular step in degrees for orthographic rotation.
If camera is orthographic and autoOrthoConstrain is toggled on the
rotation will be stepped by this amount. |
|
orthoLock(ol) |
boolean |
|
|
Orthographic cameras cannot be tumbled while orthoLock is
on. |

 Flag can have multiple arguments, passed
either as a tuple or a list. |
