+Overriding Context
+------------------
-When calling an operator you may want to pass the execution context.
+It is possible to override context members that the operator sees, so that they
+act on specified rather than the selected or active data, or to execute an
+operator in the different part of the user interface.
-This determines the context thats given to the operator to run in, and weather
-invoke() is called or execute().
-
-'EXEC_DEFAULT' is used by default but you may want the operator to take user
-interaction with 'INVOKE_DEFAULT'.
-
-The execution context is as a non keyword, string argument in:
-('INVOKE_DEFAULT', 'INVOKE_REGION_WIN', 'INVOKE_REGION_CHANNELS',
-'INVOKE_REGION_PREVIEW', 'INVOKE_AREA', 'INVOKE_SCREEN', 'EXEC_DEFAULT',
-'EXEC_REGION_WIN', 'EXEC_REGION_CHANNELS', 'EXEC_REGION_PREVIEW', 'EXEC_AREA',
-'EXEC_SCREEN')
+The context overrides are passed as a dictionary, with keys matching the context
+member names in bpy.context. For example to override bpy.context.active_object,
+you would pass {'active_object': object}.

Calling Operators

Provides python access to calling operators, this includes operators written in
C, Python or Macros.
@@ -18,6 +18,26 @@ there is a poll() method to avoid this problem.
Note that the operator ID (bl_idname) in this example is 'mesh.subdivide',
'bpy.ops' is just the access path for python.
+
+
+Keywords and Positional Arguments
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+For calling operators keywords are used for operator properties and
+positional arguments are used to define how the operator is called.
+
+There are 3 optional positional arguments (documented in detail below).
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+ bpy.ops.test.operator(override_context, execution_context, undo)
+
+* override_context - dict type
+* execution_context - string (enum)
+* undo - boolean
+
+
+Each of these arguments is optional, but must be given in the order above.
