Curve Tool: Screen Elements

The Curve Tool is divided into the following elements:

Graph View: The Graph view is the main work area of the Curve Tool window. It displays the curves for all selected axes and allows editing the curves in a graphical format. For details on the Graph view, see Graph View.
Detail Window: The Detail window can be displayed in the Graph view. It always has an associated hairline that can be positioned anywhere on the Graph view. The Detail window then displays the Time, Position, Velocity, and Acceleration of the active curve at the hairline. For details on the Detail window, see Detail Window.
Spreadsheet View: The Spreadsheet view displays the currently active curve in a spreadsheet format rather than the graphical format as in the Graph view and allows editing the points of the active curve. For details on the Spreadsheet view, see Spreadsheet View.
Toolbar: The toolbar holds buttons for commonly used commands. To help identify these buttons, hover the pointer over a button and a ToolTip will pop up and a description will be displayed on the status bar. For details on the toolbar, see Toolbar.
Status Bar: The status bar holds the current pointer location in horizontal and vertical units, an Enforce Limits indicator, a Valid/Invalid Curve indicator, a Hints Available indicator, and a line of text to display descriptions of the currently-selected command or toolbar button. For details on the status bar, see Status Bar.
