Hierarchy Menu (Graph mode)
This menu appears when you right-click in the hierarchy area. Note that some menu items pay attention to the mouse location when you right-click.
Home. Scrolls the hierarchy up to the top.
End. Scrolls the hierarchy to the end.
Hide these curves. Turns off the display of all data channels of the node that was right- clicked.
Close except this. Closes all the other nodes except the right-clicked one.
Close all. Closes all nodes except the top-level Scene.
Expose recursive. Exposes the clicked-on node, and all its children.
Close recursive. Closes the clicked-on node,and all its children.
Expose selected. Exposes all selected nodes.
Close selected. Closes all selected nodes.
Copy Selected Keys. Copy the selected keys onto the shared graph-editor clipboard.
Cut Selected Keys. Copy the selected keys onto the shared graph-editor clipboard, then delete them.
Paste Keys into this. Paste keys from the shared graph-editor clipboard into the node or channel you right-clicked on. Keys may be moved from between channels of the same underlying type: for example, Y position keys can be moved to the X
position channel, but not the Pan rotation angle. At least slightly clever about figuring out what you are trying to do when moving different kinds of keys into different places, try first, ask questions later. The menu item will be grayed out if the transfer can not be made. Note that pasting into a locked tracker will not have any effect.
Delete clicked. Deletes the node you right-clicked on. Note : the delete key (on the keyboard) deletes keys, not nodes, in both the canvas and hierarchy areas.
View Controls. The following items appear in the View Controls submenu, abbreviated as v.c. Note that most have equivalent buttons, but these are useful when the buttons are hidden.
v.c./To Tracks Mode. Change the graph editor to tracks mode.
v.c./Show Number Zone. Turns on and off the display of the numeric values of channel data.
v.c./Sort Alphabetic. Sort trackers alphabetically (modified).
v.c./Sort By Error. Sort trackers by average error.
v.c./Sort By Time. Sort trackers by their start and end times (or end and start times, if the playback direction is set to backwards).
v.c./Sort By Lifetime. Sort trackers by their lifetime, from shortest-lived to longest-lived.
v.c./List only selected trackers. List only the selected trackers, ‘Active Trackers’ node changes to ‘Selected Trackers.’
v.c./Draw all selected nodes. Controls whether or not selected nodes are drawn, equivalent to the button on the user interface.
v.c./Snap channels to grid. Controls whether or not channels being panned have their origin (zero value) snapped onto one of the horizontal grid lines.
v.c./Lock time to main. The time bar is made to synchronize with the main timebar, for when the graph editor is embedded in a viewport. Not recommended, likely to be substantially changed in the future.
v.c./Colorful background. Show the colorful background indicated whether or not enough trackers are present.
v.c./Remove menu ghosts. Some OpenGL cards do not redraw correctly after a pop- up menu has appeared, this control forces a delayed redraw to remove the ghost. On by default and harmless, but this lets you disable it. This setting is shared throughout SynthEyes and saved as a preference.
