A motion is split into segments.

Each Segment has a duration called its Segment-Width.

The Segment-Width is measured on the X-axis.

In the image above, the Segment-Width is the period from X1 at its start to X2 at its end.

Each Segment has Y-axis values we can define at its start and its end

In the image above, the motion-values are Y1 at its start (X1), and Y2 at its end (X2).

Note that the motion-values are defined for all motion-derivatives - P.V.A.J.

Each Segment has a Motion-Law.

The Motion-Law specifies the motion-values between X1,Y1 and X2,Y2.

Use the Segment-Editor to specify the motion-values at X1,Y1 - at the Start of the Selected-Segment, and at X2,Y2 - at the End of the Select-Segment.

Blend-Points do not have a SEGMENT-WIDTH. They have one value on the X-axis.

In the image, the BLEND-POINT is at X1.

Each Blend-Point has TWO Y-axis motion-values, for EACH motion-derivative P,V,A, J.

In the image, the motion-values are Y1 at the End of the Previous-Segment, and Y2 at the Start of the Selected-Segment (x1,y2).

For each motion-derivative, the two motion-values can be forced to be different or equal to each other.

Use the Blend-Point Editor to specify the motion-values at X1,Y1 - the End of Previous-Segment, and X1,Y2 - the Start of Selected-Segment.

Motion-Law :

You must select a Motion-Law for each Segment. The Motion-Law should be able to satisfy the motion requirements for your design. Each Motion-Law is a mathematical function. The Motion-Law, together with the motion-values at its Blend-Points, specify the motion-values between each Blend-Point.

Motion-Derivative :

Velocity, Acceleration, and Jerk are the first, second, and third motion-derivatives of Position.

Segment Editor :

Use the Segment-Editor to edit the Segment-Width, to select the Motion-Law, to edit the Segment-Parameters, and to edit the motion-values at the Start of the Selected-Segment(y1) and at the End of the Selected-Segment(y2).

Blend-Point Editor :

Use the Blend-Point Editor to edit the X-axis of the Blend-Point (X1) - at the start of the Selected-Segment.

Edit the motion-values at the End of the Previous-Segment(y1) and at the Start of the Selected-Segment (Y2)

Selected-Segment :

The active segment. It is a different color to the other segments.

Previous-Segment :

The segment that precedes (is to the left of / is earlier than / is before) the Selected-Segment. If the Selected-Segment is the first segment, then the Previous-Segment is the last segment.

Next-Segment :

The segment that follows (is to the right of / is later than / is after) the Selected-Segment. If the Selected-Segment is the last segment, then the Next-Segment is the first segment.

Each Blend-Point has a one(1) X-axis value. It is the instant on the X-axis when a segment ends and the next segment starts.

The symbol for a Blend-Point is the shape of a diamond. The diamond shape is actually two(2) triangles.

Blend-Point - the symbol is two triangles. Each triangle is a symbol for the end of a segment and the start of a segment.

Active Blend-Point - has an, outline. It is the Blend-Point at the start of the Selected Segment.

The Start of a Segment. The symbol may be Green, Black, Clear, or Grey.

The End of a Segment. The symbol may be Black, Clear or Grey.
