Icons - This pane has the following three icons. Each has two states as
shown below:
Limits are Enforced
Limits are Not Enforced
These icons indicate whether or not the curve limits

Valid Curve

These icons indicate whether the curve is currently

curve is invalid. Click on this icon and hold the button
down to read the hints.
