pymel.core.modeling.setXformManip

setXformManip(*args, **kwargs)

This command changes some of the settings of the xform manip, to control its appearance. In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags:

Long name (short name)		Argument Types	Properties
showUnits (su)		bool
	If set to true, the xform manip displays current units; otherwise, the manip hides them. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
suppress (s)		bool
	If set to true, the xform manip is suppressed and therefore not visible or usable.
useRotatePivot (urp)		bool
	If set to true, the xform manip uses the rotate pivot; otherwise, the manip uses the bounding-box center. Defaults false.
worldSpace (ws)		bool
	If set to true, the xform manip is always in world space. If false, the manip is in object space. (Note: when multiple objects are selected the manip is always in world space, no matter what this is set to)

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.setXformManip

Example:

import pymel.core as pm

# makes manip disappear
pm.setXformManip( suppress=True )

# set manip to object space
pm.setXformManip( worldSpace=False )

# returns false
pm.setXformManip( q=True, ws=True )
# Result: False #
