9.1.4.3. Linear Time Raster between Min and Max Values
This curve modification identifies the highest and lowest effect values and generates
a linear path with using constant time intervals. The time intervals can be adjusted
with a right mouse click on the button.
9.1.4.4. Linear Value Raster between Min and Max Values
This curve modification identifies the highest and lowest values. Then the function
generates a linear curve of interpolation points between these values, using fixed
steps of the effects values. The time intervals are automatically determined based on
the occurrence of a whole value step. Smoother effect curves can be created this
way, but it also leads to more effects events (which may negatively impact
rendering performance in some rare cases).
9.1.4.5. Time Raster
This curve modification fills breaks in the effect path. It generates equal time intervals
between the effects. This feature can be used for reducing the effect calls and thus
improve performance. The time intervals can be set with a right mouse click on the
button.
9.1.4.6. Value Raster
This curve modification fills breaks in the effect path. It identifies effect value changes
and levels the effect curve based on this. Overall this leads to smoother effect curves
at good performance.
9.1.4.7. Apply
Clicking on Apply closes the window and writes the edited effect curve to the
previously specified / selected area on the very subtrack.
Click “Undo” if the applied settings shall be dropped and the previous settings shall
be restored.
9.1.5. Info Button
This button opens a small area to show the active
figure and its name (Fig. 104), when clicking on its
position in the respective subtrack. In case of multi
frame figures with the first frames being dark, it is useful to
open the simulation window as well.
The info function can be used by click-dragging the mouse
in the subtrack. When using the right mouse button for this,
the events of ALL figure tracks, which are active at the very
time, have their info displayed in the Info Area as well as
output to the laser (if connected). The laser output is
automatically activated and deactivated again afterwards.
As very much information has to be handled, it is
recommended to move the mouse slowly!
