Synopsis

rotationInterpolation([convert=string])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

rotationInterpolation is undoable, queryable, and NOT editable.

The rotationInterpolation command converts the rotation curves to the desired rotation interpolation representation. For example, an Euler-angled representation can be converted to Quaternion.

Flags

convert
Long name (short name) [argument types] Properties
convert(c) string createquery
Specifies the rotation interpolation mode for the curves after converting. Possible choices are "none" (unsynchronized Euler-angled curves which are compatible with pre-4.0 Maya curves), "euler" (Euler-angled curves with keyframes kept synchronized), and "quaternion" (quaternion curves with keyframes kept synchronized).

In query mode, this flag needs a value.
Flag can appear in Create mode of command Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Return value

None
