Mini-curve editor
Similar to the Keyframe Editor, mini-curve editors provide a way to animate parameters outside
the Keyframe Editor’s interface using keyframes in a graph. Animations created in a mini-curve
editor don’t appear in the Keyframe Editor.
Two Particle behaviors—Scale Over Life and Spin Over Life—have mini-curve editors in the
Inspector (when the Increment Type parameter is set to Custom). Mini-curve editors are also
present for paint objects, in the Stroke pane of the Shape Inspector.
By default, the mini-curve editor is collapsed and shows a scaled-down representation of the
parameter curve.
