animCurveEditor(*args, **kwargs)

Edit a characteristic of a graph editor

Flags:
  • autoFit : af (unicode) [query,edit]

    on | off | tgl auto fit-to-view

  • clipTime : ct (unicode) [query,edit]

    Valid values: onoffDisplay the clips with their offset and scale applied to the anim curves in the clip.

  • constrainDrag : cd (int) [create,query,edit]

    Constrains all Graph Editor animation curve drag operations to either the X-axis, the Y-axis, or to neither of those axes. Values to supply are: 0 for not constraining any axis, 1 for constraing the X-axis, or 2 for constraining the Y-axis. When used in queries, this flag returns the latter values and these values have the same interpretation as above. Note: when the shift key is pressed before dragging the animation curve, the first mouse movement will instead determine (and override) any prior set constrained axis. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

  • control : ctl (bool) [query]

    Query only. Returns the top level control for this editor. Usually used for getting a parent to attach popup menus. Caution: It is possible, at times, for an editor to exist without a control. This flag returns NONEif no control is present.

  • curvesShown : cs (bool) [query]

    Returns a string array containing the names of the animCurve nodes currently displayed in the graph editor.

  • defineTemplate : dt (unicode) [create]

    Puts a command in a mode where any other flags and args are parsed and added to the command template specified in the argument. They will be used as default arguments in any subsequent invocations of the command when templateName is set as the current template.

  • denormalizeCurvesCommand : dcc (unicode) [create,edit]

    Sets the script which is run to denormalize curves in the graph editor. This is intended for internal use only.

  • displayActiveKeyTangents : dat (unicode) [edit]

    on | off | tgl display tangents in the editor

  • displayActiveKeys : dak (unicode) [edit]

    on | off | tgl display tangents in the editor

  • displayInfinities : di (unicode) [edit]

    on | off | tgl display infinities in the editor

  • displayKeys : dk (unicode) [edit]

    on | off | tgl display keyframes in the editor

  • displayNormalized : dn (bool) [query,edit]

    When on, display all curves normalized to the range -1 to +1.

  • displayTangents : dtn (unicode) [edit]

    on | off | tgl display tangents in the editor

  • docTag : dtg (unicode) [create,query,edit]

    Attaches a tag to the Maya editor.

  • exists : ex (bool) [create]

    Returns true|false depending upon whether the specified object exists. Other flags are ignored.

  • filter : f (unicode) [create,query,edit]

    Specifies the name of an itemFilter object to be placed on this editor. This filters the information coming onto the main list of the editor.

  • forceMainConnection : fmc (unicode) [create,query,edit]

    Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only display items contained in the selectionConnection object. This is a variant of the -mainListConnection flag in that it will force a change even when the connection is locked. This flag is used to reduce the overhead when using the -unlockMainConnection , -mainListConnection, -lockMainConnection flags in immediate succession.

  • highlightConnection : hlc (unicode) [create,query,edit]

    Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will synchronize with its highlight list. Not all editors have a highlight list. For those that do, it is a secondary selection list.

  • lockMainConnection : lck (bool) [create,edit]

    Locks the current list of objects within the mainConnection, so that only those objects are displayed within the editor. Further changes to the original mainConnection are ignored.

  • lookAt : la (unicode) [edit]

    all | selected | currentTime fitView helpers

  • mainListConnection : mlc (unicode) [create,query,edit]

    Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only display items contained in the selectionConnection object.

  • menu : m (callable) [create]

    Specify a script to be run when the editor is created. The function will be passed one string argument which is the new editor’s name.

  • normalizeCurvesCommand : ncc (unicode) [create,edit]

    Sets the script which is run to normalize curves in the graph editor. This is intended for internal use only.

  • panel : pnl (unicode) [create,query]

    Specifies the panel that the editor belongs to. By default if an editor is created in the create callback of a scripted panel it will belong to that panel. If an editor doesn’t belong to a panel it will be deleted when the window that it is in is deleted.

  • parent : p (unicode) [create,query,edit]

    Specifies the parent layout for this editor. This flag will only have an effect if the editor is currently un-parented.

  • preSelectionHighlight : psh (bool) [query,edit]

    When on, the curve/key/tangent under the mouse pointer is highlighted to ease selection.

  • renormalizeCurves : rnc (bool) [edit]

    This flag causes the curve normalization factors to be recalculated.

  • resultSamples : rs (time) [query,edit]

    Specify the sampling for result curves Note: the smaller this number is, the longer it will take to update the display.

  • resultScreenSamples : rss (int) [query,edit]

    Specify the screen base result sampling for result curves. If 0, then results are sampled in time.

  • resultUpdate : ru (unicode) [query,edit]

    Valid values: interactivedelayedControls how changes to animCurves are reflected in the result curves (if results are being shown). If resultUpdate is interactive, then as interactive changes are being made to the animCurve, the result curves will be updated. If modelUpdate is delayed (which is the default setting), then result curves are updated once the final change to an animCurve has been made.

  • selectionConnection : slc (unicode) [create,query,edit]

    Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object which the editor will synchronize with its own selection list. As the user selects things in this editor, they will be selected in the selectionConnection object. If the object undergoes changes, the editor updates to show the change.

  • showBufferCurves : sb (unicode) [query,edit]

    Valid values: onofftglDisplay buffer curves.

  • showResults : sr (unicode) [query,edit]

    Valid values: onofftglDisplay result curves from expression or other non-keyed action.

  • showUpstreamCurves : suc (bool) [query,edit]

    If true, the dependency graph is searched upstream for all curves that drive the selected plugs (showing multiple curves for example in a typical driven key setup, where first the driven key curve is encountered, followed by the actual animation curve that drives the source object). If false, only the first curves encountered will be shown. Note that, even if false, multiple curves can be shown if e.g. a blendWeighted node is being used to combine multiple curves.

  • smoothness : s (unicode) [query,edit]

    Valid values: coarseroughmediumfineSpecify the display smoothness of animation curves.

  • snapTime : st (unicode) [query,edit]

    none | integer | keyframe keyframe move snap in time

  • snapValue : sv (unicode) [query,edit]

    none | integer | keyframe keyframe move snap in values

  • stackedCurves : sc (bool) [query,edit]

    Switches the display mode between normal (all curves sharing one set of axes) to stacked (each curve on its own value axis, stacked vertically).

  • stackedCurvesMax : scx (float) [query,edit]

    Sets the maximum value on the per-curve value axis when in stacked mode.

  • stackedCurvesMin : scm (float) [query,edit]

    Sets the minimum value on the per-curve value axis when in stacked mode.

  • stackedCurvesSpace : scs (float) [query,edit]

    Sets the spacing between curves when in stacked mode.

  • stateString : sts (bool) [query]

    Query only flag. Returns the MEL command that will edit an editor to match the current editor state. The returned command string uses the string variable $editorName in place of a specific name.

  • unParent : up (bool) [create,edit]

    Specifies that the editor should be removed from its layout. This cannot be used with query.

  • unlockMainConnection : ulk (bool) [create,edit]

    Unlocks the mainConnection, effectively restoring the original mainConnection (if it is still available), and dynamic updates.

  • updateMainConnection : upd (bool) [create,edit]

    Causes a locked mainConnection to be updated from the orginal mainConnection, but preserves the lock state.

  • useTemplate : ut (unicode) [create]

    Force the command to use a command template other than the current one.
