Graph of Timeline
When is clicked, the attributes of animation will be displayed in a linear graph. Each track for position, rotation, scale, and slant
is separated into the X, Y, and Z axes in the graph. Each axis is displayed in a different color: X = Red, Y = Green, and Z = Blue.
Function Curve
In the graph, the squares rep-
resent Keys and the circles are
the tangent handles. In this view,
keys can be added and deleted
freely. Use the tangent handles
to manipulate detailed motions
of animations.
