hou.parmTuple function

Returns a parameter tuple by its path string. Returns None if the parameter tuple does not exist.

See also: hou.evalParmTuple, hou.parm

A parameter tuple often corresponds to a two or three parameters on the same line in the parameter dialog. For example, the “t” (transform) parameter tuple contains the tx, ty, and tz parameters.

The path can be absolute (starting from the root of the scene hierarchy with /) or relative to the current value of hou.pwd() (hou.pwd() is available during the evaluation of parameters, so you can use it in Python expressions to make relative references).

Raises hou.NotAvailable if you call it from MPlay.
