In Figure 6.26, the first channel (Position.X) in the Curve Bin is selected by default. In the
Curve Window, the channel that represents the object??™s X position is highlighted. On your
computer, you??™ll notice that each position channel has a specific color in the Curve Bin:
X is red, Y is green, and Z is blue. The same color represents the corresponding curve in
the main Curve Window. If you move the mouse pointer over one of the small colored
dots (which represent keyframes) on an active curve (in this case, the item??™s motion path),
numeric information appears (Figure 6.27).
Figure 6.27 Moving the mouse pointer over a keyframe instantly displays the keyframe number,
the value, and which channel (such as Position.X) you??™re working with.
If you like, and have the screen real estate, feel free to resize the Layout window, as well as
the Graph Editor to keep both panels fully visible all the time. To resize the Graph Editor,
you can do the following:
1. Drag the lower-right corner of the Graph Editor window.Make sure that the window
is not maximized.
2. Click and drag the Layout window from the top of the panel, and move it to the
upper-left portion of your screen.
