pymel.core.context.curveCVCtx

curveCVCtx(*args, **kwargs)

The curveCVCtx command creates a new context for creating curves by placing control vertices (CVs).

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
bezier (bez)		bool
degree (d)		int
	valid values are 1, 2, 3, 5 or 7. Default is degree 3.
exists (ex)		bool
history (ch)		bool
image1 (i1)		unicode
image2 (i2)		unicode
image3 (i3)		unicode
multEndKnots (me)		bool
	Default is true. False means that the curve will not pass through the end control vertices (CVs).
name (n)		unicode
preserveShape (ps)		bool
rational (rl)		bool
refit (rf)		bool
symmetry (sm)		bool
uniform (un)		bool
	Default is true, which means uniform parameterization will be used. False means chord length parameterization. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.curveCVCtx

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# To create a new context that will create curves of degree 5:
pm.curveCVCtx( "curveCVContext", degree=5 )
# Result: u'curveCVContext' #
pm.setToolTo("curveCVContext")

# To query the degree of an existing context:
pm.curveCVCtx( "curveCVContext", q=True, degree=True )
# Result: 5 #

# To edit the degree of an existing context:
pm.curveCVCtx( "curveCVContext", , e=True, degree=7 )
