Module Ipo :: Class IpoCurve

Class IpoCurve

The IpoCurve object

This object gives access to generic data from all ipocurves objects in Blender.

Important Notes for Rotation Curves:

For the rotation IpoCurves, the y values for points are in units of 10 degrees. example: 45.0 degrees is stored as 4.50 degrees. These are the same numbers you see in the Transform Properties pupmenu ( NKey ) in the IPO Curve Editor window. Positive rotations are in a counter-clockwise direction, just like in math class.
