Settings for interacting with Blender data

auto_keying_mode

Mode of automatic keyframe insertion for Objects and Bones (default setting used for new Scenes)

fcurve_unselected_alpha

Amount that unselected F-Curves stand out from the background (Graph Editor)

Type:float in [0.001, 1], default 0.0

Color of new Grease Pencil layers

Type:float array of 4 items in [0, inf], default (0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
grease_pencil_eraser_radius

Radius of eraser ‘brush’

Type:int in [0, 100], default 0
grease_pencil_euclidean_distance

Distance moved by mouse when drawing stroke to include

Type:int in [0, 100], default 0
grease_pencil_manhattan_distance

Pixels moved by mouse per axis when drawing stroke

Type:int in [0, 100], default 0
keyframe_new_handle_type

Handle type for handles of new keyframes

  • FREE Free.
  • VECTOR Vector.
  • ALIGNED Aligned.
  • AUTO Automatic.
  • AUTO_CLAMPED Auto Clamped, Auto handles clamped to not overshoot.
Type:enum in [‘FREE’, ‘VECTOR’, ‘ALIGNED’, ‘AUTO’, ‘AUTO_CLAMPED’], default ‘FREE’
keyframe_new_interpolation_type

Interpolation mode used for first keyframe on newly added F-Curves (subsequent keyframes take interpolation from preceding keyframe)

  • CONSTANT Constant, No interpolation, value of A gets held until B is encountered.
  • LINEAR Linear, Straight-line interpolation between A and B (i.e. no ease in/out).
  • BEZIER Bezier, Smooth interpolation between A and B, with some control over curve shape.
  • SINE Sinusoidal, Sinusoidal easing (weakest, almost linear but with a slight curvature).
  • QUAD Quadratic, Quadratic easing.
  • CUBIC Cubic, Cubic easing.
  • QUART Quartic, Quartic easing.
  • QUINT Quintic, Quintic easing.
  • EXPO Exponential, Exponential easing (dramatic).
  • CIRC Circular, Circular easing (strongest and most dynamic).
  • BACK Back, Cubic easing with overshoot and settle.
  • BOUNCE Bounce, Exponentially decaying parabolic bounce, like when objects collide.
  • ELASTIC Elastic, Exponentially decaying sine wave, like an elastic band.
Type:enum in [‘CONSTANT’, ‘LINEAR’, ‘BEZIER’, ‘SINE’, ‘QUAD’, ‘CUBIC’, ‘QUART’, ‘QUINT’, ‘EXPO’, ‘CIRC’, ‘BACK’, ‘BOUNCE’, ‘ELASTIC’], default ‘CONSTANT’

Toggle whether the material is linked to object data or the object block

  • OBDATA ObData, Toggle whether the material is linked to object data or the object block.
  • OBJECT Object, Toggle whether the material is linked to object data or the object block.
Type:enum in [‘OBDATA’, ‘OBJECT’], default ‘OBDATA’
node_margin

Minimum distance between nodes for Auto-offsetting nodes

Type:int in [0, 255], default 0
object_align

When adding objects from a 3D View menu, either align them with that view or with the world

  • WORLD World, Align newly added objects to the world coordinate system.
  • VIEW View, Align newly added objects facing the active 3D View direction.
Type:enum in [‘WORLD’, ‘VIEW’], default ‘WORLD’

Type:float array of 3 items in [0, inf], default (0.0, 0.0, 0.0)
undo_memory_limit

Maximum memory usage in megabytes (0 means unlimited)

Type:int in [0, 32767], default 0
undo_steps

Number of undo steps available (smaller values conserve memory)

Type:int in [0, 256], default 0
