IpoCurve

40 """ 41 The IpoCurve object 42 =================== 43 This object gives access to generic data from all Ipo curves objects 44 in Blender. 45 46 Important Notes for Rotation Ipo Curves:\n 47 For the rotation Ipo curves, the y values for points are in units of 10 48 degrees. For example, 45.0 degrees is stored as 4.50 degrees. These are the 49 same numbers you see in the Transform Properties pop-up menu ( NKey ) in 50 the IPO Curve Editor window. Positive rotations are in a counter-clockwise 51 direction, following the standard convention. 52 53 @ivar driver: Status of the driver. 1= on, 0= object, 2= python expression. 54 @type driver: int 55 @ivar driverObject: Object used to drive the Ipo curve. 56 @type driverObject: Blender Object or None 57 @ivar driverExpression: Python expression used to drive the Ipo curve.

If the first and 76 last bezier points do not have the same y coordinate, the value of the 77 curve when it "cycles" is that of the first point.
