Module Ipo :: Class IpoCurve
[frames | no frames]

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. For 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.

Method Details

addBezier(coordlist)

Adds a Bezier point to a curve.
Parameters:
coordlist - the x and y coordinates of the new Bezier point.
