prPanelCtx (2023.11.21)

# DESCRIPTION

Demo video: https://vimeo.com/pazrot/prPanelCtx

Temporarily sets (Panel > Show > types) while:

- dragging the translate/rotate/scale tools

- timeline dragging

- timeline playback

The purpose is to have a clear view of the deforming geometry.

To customize the context you can use all flags of the MEL command "modelEditor".

Technical: This script creates a scriptJob (SelectionChanged) and an OpenMaya.MConditionMessage (playingBack)

# INSTALLATION

# USAGE
