Curve Tool: The Insertion Point

The Spreadsheet view always shows one more row or column than there are points in the Graph view. This is called the "Insertion Point." This column allows for new points to be entered through the spreadsheet. Since at a minimum a point must have a time, or master position, and a position value, these properties must be entered before a point is actually added to the curve.

Note: The time, or master position, value determines where in the curve the point will be placed. To insert a point between two existing points, enter a time value which falls between the two existing points' time values. For example, if there is a point at 100 and a point at 300, adding a point at time value 200 will insert the point at that location on the curve.

The Insertion Point is indicated by an "asterisk" ( $image\Asterisk.gif$ ) in the header for that point.
