# Python API example for skin weight access
# Place this file into an lxserv folder
#
# Creates a command that takes the names of a mesh and a connected joint locator and inverts the weight values
#
# Example command usage:
#   example.printJointWeights locator:"Skeleton_Joint (4)" mesh:MyCube

This command sets or gets the 'Start Control' or 'End Control' state of a curve (not a bezier curve).

# Example for querying the Start Control state for every curve polygon found in the selected mesh:
import modo

mesh = modo.Mesh()
for curvePolygonIndex in [i.index for i in mesh.geometry.polygons.iterCurves()]:
	startControl = lx.eval('curve.endPoints polyIndex:{0} first:?'.format( curvePolygonIndex ))

# This function really does the same, using the mathutils of the TD SDK
