animCurveEditor is undoable, queryable, and editable.
Edit a characteristic of a graph editor
In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
Long name (short name) |
Argument types |
Properties |
-exists(-ex) |
|
|
|
Returns true|false depending upon whether the specified object
exists. Other flags are ignored. |
|
-defineTemplate(-dt) |
string |
|
|
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. |
|
-useTemplate(-ut) |
string |
|
|
Force the command to use a command template other than the
current one. |
|
-panel(-pnl) |
string |
|
|
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) |
string |
|
|
Specifies the parent layout for this editor. This flag will
only have an effect if the editor is currently un-parented. |
|
-unParent(-up) |
|
|
|
Specifies that the editor should be removed from its layout.
This cannot be used with query. |
|
-control(-ctl) |
|
|
|
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 "NONE" if no control is present. |
|
-mainListConnection(-mlc) |
string |
|
|
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. |
|
-forceMainConnection(-fmc) |
string |
|
|
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. |
|
-selectionConnection(-slc) |
string |
|
|
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. |
|
-highlightConnection(-hlc) |
string |
|
|
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. |
|
-filter(-f) |
string |
|
|
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. |
|
-lockMainConnection(-lck) |
|
|
|
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. |
|
-stateString(-sts) |
|
|
|
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. |
|
-unlockMainConnection(-ulk) |
|
|
|
Unlocks the mainConnection, effectively restoring the original
mainConnection (if it is still available), and dynamic
updates. |
|
-updateMainConnection(-upd) |
|
|
|
Causes a locked mainConnection to be updated from the orginal
mainConnection, but preserves the lock state. |
|
-docTag(-dtg) |
string |
|
|
Attaches a tag to the Maya editor. |
|
-displayKeys(-dk) |
string |
|
|
on | off | tgl display keyframes in the editor |
|
-displayTangents(-dtn) |
string |
|
|
on | off | tgl display tangents in the editor |
|
-displayActiveKeys(-dak) |
string |
|
|
on | off | tgl display tangents in the editor |
|
-displayActiveKeyTangents(
-dat) |
string |
|
|
on | off | tgl display tangents in the editor |
|
-displayInfinities(-di) |
string |
|
|
on | off | tgl display infinities in the editor |
|
-autoFit(-af) |
string |
|
|
on | off | tgl auto fit-to-view |
|
-lookAt(-la) |
string |
|
|
all | selected | currentTime fitView helpers |
|
-snapTime(-st) |
string |
|
|
none | integer | keyframe keyframe move snap in time |
|
-snapValue(-sv) |
string |
|
|
none | integer | keyframe keyframe move snap in values |
|
-showResults(-sr) |
string |
|
|
Valid values: "on" "off" "tgl"
Display result curves from expression or other non-keyed
action. |
|
-showBufferCurves(-sb) |
string |
|
|
Valid values: "on" "off" "tgl"
Display buffer curves. |
|
-smoothness(-s) |
string |
|
|
Valid values: "coarse" "rough" "medium" "fine"
Specify the display smoothness of animation curves. |
|
-resultScreenSamples(-rss) |
int |
|
|
Specify the screen base result sampling for result curves. If
0, then results are sampled in time. |
|
-resultSamples(-rs) |
time |
|
|
Specify the sampling for result curves
Note: the smaller this number is, the longer it will take to update
the display. |
|
-resultUpdate(-ru) |
string |
|
|
Valid values: "interactive" "delayed"
Controls 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. |
|
-showUpstreamCurves(-suc) |
boolean |
|
|
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. |
|
|
script |
|
|
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. |
|
-clipTime(-ct) |
string |
|
|
Valid values: "on" "off"
Display the clips with their offset and scale applied to the anim
curves in the clip. |
|
-curvesShown(-cs) |
|
|
|
Returns a string array containing the names of the animCurve
nodes currently displayed in the graph editor. |
|
-normalizeCurvesCommand(
-ncc) |
string |
|
|
Sets the script which is run to normalize curves in the graph
editor. This is intended for internal use only. |
|
-denormalizeCurvesCommand(
-dcc) |
string |
|
|
Sets the script which is run to denormalize curves in the graph
editor. This is intended for internal use only. |
|
-stackedCurves(-sc) |
boolean |
|
|
Switches the display mode between normal (all curves sharing
one set of axes) to stacked (each curve on its own value axis,
stacked vertically). |
|
-stackedCurvesMin(-scm) |
float |
|
|
Sets the minimum value on the per-curve value axis when in
stacked mode. |
|
-stackedCurvesMax(-scx) |
float |
|
|
Sets the maximum value on the per-curve value axis when in
stacked mode. |
|
-stackedCurvesSpace(-scs) |
float |
|
|
Sets the spacing between curves when in stacked mode. |
|
-displayNormalized(-dn) |
boolean |
|
|
When on, display all curves normalized to the range -1 to
+1. |
|
-renormalizeCurves(-rnc) |
|
|
|
This flag causes the curve normalization factors to be
recalculated. |
|
-preSelectionHighlight(-psh) |
boolean |
|
|
When on, the curve/key/tangent under the mouse pointer is
highlighted to ease selection. |
|
-constrainDrag(-cd) |
uint |
|
|
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. |
