polyPrimitive(*args, **kwargs)

Create a polygon primative

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
axis (ax)		float, float, float
	This flag specifies the primitive axis used to build the primitive polygon. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float[3].
caching (cch)		bool
constructionHistory (ch)		bool
	Turn the construction history on or off (where applicable). If construction history is on then the corresponding node will be inserted into the history chain for the mesh. If construction history is off then the operation will be performed directly on the object. Note:If the object already has construction history then this flag is ignored and the node will always be inserted into the history chain. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
createUVs (cuv)		int
name (n)		unicode
	Give a name to the resulting node.
nodeState (nds)		int
object (o)		bool
	Create the result, or just the dependency node (where applicable). Common flags
polyType (pt)		int
	This flag allows a specific primitive poly to be selected for creation of mesh, The valid values is 0 0 implies soccer ball to be created. C: Default is 0 Common flags
radius (r)		float
	This flag specifies the radius of the primitive polygon. C: Default is 1.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
sideLength (l)		float
	This flag specifies the side length of primitive polygon. C: Default is 1.0. Q: When queried, this flag returns a float.
texture (tx)		int

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.polyPrimitive

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# Create a soccerBall with radius 1 side length 0.4037
pm.polyPrimitive( r=1, l=0.4036, pt=0)
