Select All

Select all keys from the currently selected curves.

Select None

Deselect all keys from the currently selected curves

Delete Selected

Remove all selected keys from different curves.

Node Type > Set Selected to TCB

This type uses three parameters to control a key: “Tension”, “Continuity” and “Bias”. You can find the parameters under Keys > Show Key Properties.

Node Type > Set Selected to Bezier

This type uses tangents to control a key. You can “Break Tangents”, “Unify Tangents”, and “Flat Tangents” with the appropriate entries of this menu. It is also possible to manipulate tangents with the mouse.

Node Type > Set Selected to Linear

This type connects the keys with straight lines.

Node Type > Set Selected to Stepped

This type creates an abrupt change between two keys similar to a stair.

Start Node Behaviour > Zero

The parameter's value is set to 0 until the first key.

Start Node Behaviour > Constant

This function uses the first key's parameter value.

Last Node Behaviour > Zero

The parameter's value is set to 0 after the last key to continue the curve.

Last Node Behaviour > Constant

This function uses the last key's parameter value to continue the curve.

Last Node Behaviour > Loop

This function creates an endless repetition of the curve segment between the first and the last key to continue the curve.

Last Node Behaviour > Loop offset

This function creates an endless repetition of the curve segment between the first and the last key to continue the curve: the values are added and the result is a growing curve.

Last Node Behaviour > Follow tangent

This feature uses the last key’s tangent gradient to continue the curve.

Break Tangents

Broken tangents can be manipulated individually.

Unify Tangents

Both sides of the tangent have the same gradient.

Flat Tangents

To flatten out the tangents, use this function.
