pymel.core.modeling.closeCurve

closeCurve(*args, **kwargs)

The closeCurve command closes a curve, making it periodic. The pathname to the newly closed curve and the name of the resulting dependency node are returned. If a curve is not specified in the command, then the first active curve will be used.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
blendBias (bb)		float
	Skew the result toward the first or the second curve depending on the blend value being smaller or larger than 0.5. Default:0.5
blendKnotInsertion (bki)		bool
	If set to true, insert a knot in one of the original curves (relative position given by the parameter attribute below) in order to produce a slightly different effect. Default:false
caching (cch)		bool
	Modifies the node caching mode. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only.
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off
curveOnSurface (cos)		bool
	If possible, create 2D curve as a result Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
name (n)		unicode
	Name the resulting object
nodeState (nds)		int
	Modifies the node state. See the node documentation for more information. Note:For advanced users only. Common flags
object (o)		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node
parameter (p)		float
	The parameter value for the positioning of the newly inserted knot. Default:0.1 Advanced flags
preserveShape (ps)		int
	0 - without preserving the shape 1 - preserve shape 2 - blend Default:1
replaceOriginal (rpo)		bool
	Create in place(i.e., replace)

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.closeCurve

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

pm.closeCurve( 'curve1', ch=True, ps=True )
# Closes curve1 with history and by preserving shape.  The result will
# be the name of the closed curve, and the name of the newly created
# dependency node.

pm.closeCurve( 'curve1', ch=True, ps=False )
# Closes curve1 with history and will not preserve the shape of the
# curve.

pm.closeCurve( 'curve1', ch=True, rpo=True )
# Closes curve1 with history and replaces the original curve with
# the closed one.
