Blend-Point Editor Control-buttons
It is extremely important to understand how to use the three[3] Control-Buttons in the Blend-Point Editor [and the Segment-Editor] for each motion-derivative.
Whether it is possible to specify a motion-value with a Control-Button is a function of the:
C.Control-Buttons States
CONTROL-BUTTONS DEFINITIONS
Each motion-derivative (P V A J) has three Control-Buttons.
We must understand the possible states of each Control-Button. Please read carefully the definitions in this table.
Button |
Definition: |
|---|---|
|
Do Edit End : It is possible AND a motion value is specified |
|
Do Not Edit End : It is possible, but a motion-value is NOT specified |
|
Can Not Edit End : It is NOT possible to specify a motion-value. |
|
Do Not Blend : Motion-Value at the Start of the Selected-Segment is not forced to equal motion-value at the End of the Previous-Segment |
|
Do Blend : Motion-Value at the Start of the Selected-Segment is forced to equal motion-value at the End of the Previous |
|
Do Edit Start : It is possible AND a motion value is specified |
|
Do Not Edit Start : It is possible, but a motion-value is NOT specified |
|
Can Not Edit Start : It is NOT possible to specify a motion-value. |
Control-Button: Patterns: 1- 8
The state of each Control-Button can combine to give eight possible patterns. These are:
Pattern 1
|
||
▼ ▼ ▼ |
▼ ▼ |
▼▶ Start of Selected-Segment : Possible BUT NOT given a value |
▼▶ |
End of the Previous-Segment ≠ Start of the Selected-Segment |
|
▼▶ |
End of Previous-Segment : Possible BUT NOT given a value |
|
Pattern 2

▼ ▼ ▼ |
▼ ▼ |
▼▶ Start of Selected-Segment : Possible BUT NOT given a value |

End of Previous-Segment : Possible AND given a value |
|
Pattern 3

▼ ▼ ▼ |
▼ ▼ |
▼▶ Start of Selected-Segment : Possible AND given a value |
▼ ▶ |
End of the Previous-Segment ≠ Start of the Selected-Segment |
|

End of Previous-Segment : Possible BUT NOT given a value |
|
Pattern 4
|

▼ ▼ ▼ |
▼ ▼ |
▼▶ Start of Selected-Segment : Possible AND given a value |

End of Previous-Segment : Possible AND given a value |
|
Pattern 5
|
||
▼ ▼ ▼ |
▼ ▼ |
▼▶ Start of Selected-Segment : NOT possible to give a value [Motion-Law] |
▼▶ |
End of the Previous-Segment = Start of the Selected-Segment |
|
▼▶ |
End of Previous-Segment : Possible BUT NOT given a value |
|
Pattern 6
|
||
▼ ▼ ▼ |
▼ ▼ |
▼▶ Start of Selected-Segment : NOT possible to specify a value |
▼▶ |
End of the Previous-Segment = Start of the Selected-Segment |
|
▼▶ |
End of Previous-Segment : Possible AND given a value |
|
Pattern 7
|
||
▼ ▼ ▼ |
▼ ▼ |
▼▶ Start of Selected-Segment : NOT possible to specify a value |
▼▶ |
End of the Previous-Segment = Start of the Selected-Segment |
|
▼▶ |
End of Previous-Segment : NOT possible to specify a value |
|
Pattern 8
|
||
▼ ▼ ▼ |
▼ ▼ |
▼▶ Start of Selected-Segment : Possible BUT NOT given a value |
▼▶ |
End of the Previous-Segment ≠ Start of the Selected-Segment |
