Return value

array of [string]'s (the names of the new flexor nodes)

Long name (short name)[argument types]Properties
-type (-typ) typecreate
Specifies which type of flexor. (To see list of valid types, use the "flexor -q -l" command.)
-deformerCommand (-dc) command stringcreate
String representing underlying deformer command string.
-atJoints (-aj) create
Add a flexor at joints. Flexor will be added at each of the selected joints, or at all joints in the selected skeleton if the -ts flag is specified.
-atBones (-ab) create
Add a flexor at bones. Flexor will be added at each of the selected bones, or at all bones in the selected skeleton if the -ts flag is also specified.
-toSkeleton (-ts) create
Specifies that flexors will be added to the entire skeleton rather than just to the selected joints/bones. This flag is used in conjunction with the -ab and -aj flags.
-list (-l) query
List all possible types of flexors. Query mode only.
-noScale (-ns) create
Do not auto-scale the flexor to the size of the nearby geometry.
