pymel.core.animation.marker

marker(*args, **kwargs)

The marker command creates one or two markers, on a motion path curve, at the specified time and location. The optionnal string argument is the parent object name.One can specify -pm -omoption to create both, a position marker and an orientation marker.Since there is only one keyframe for each marker of the same type, no more than one marker of the same type with the same time value can exist.The default marker type is the position marker. The default time is the current time.

Flags:

• attach : a (bool) [create]

  This flag specifies to attach the selected 3D position markers to their parent geometry.

• detach : d (bool) [create]

  This flag specifies to detach the selected position markers from their parent geometry to the 3D space. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

• frontTwist : ft (float) [query]

  This flag specifies the amount of twist angle about the front vector for the marker.Default is 0.When queried, this flag returns a angle.

• orientationMarker : om (bool) [query]

  This flag specifies creation of an orientation marker.Default is not set..When queried, this flag returns a boolean.

• positionMarker : pm (bool) [query]

  This flag specifies creation of a position marker.Default is set.When queried, this flag returns a boolean.

• sideTwist : st (float) [query]

  This flag specifies the amount of twist angle about the side vector for the marker.Default is 0.When queried, this flag returns a angle.

• time : t (time) [query]

  This flag specifies the time for the marker.Default is the current time.When queried, this flag returns a time.

• upTwist : ut (float) [query]

  This flag specifies the amount of twist angle about the up vector for the marker.Default is 0.When queried, this flag returns a angle.

• valueU : u (float) [query]

  This flag specifies the location of the position marker w.r.t. the parent geometry u parameterization.Default is the value at current time.When queried, this flag returns a linear.
