ValueNode Types
Each ValueNode (and hence each Parameter) in Synfig has one of 13 types:
Type | Description | ||
01. | Bool | a boolean value; true or false. Represented in Studio as a checkbox. | |
02. | Integer | an integer value; a whole number. -3 or 0 or 2 are examples. | |
03. | Real | a real number. -3.0, 0.0, 2.0 and 3.1415 are examples. | |
04. | Angle | a real number that is interpreted as an angle. | |
05. | Time | a time, displayed in days, hours, minutes, seconds and frames. | |
06. | Vector | a 2d vector. usually represented as two Reals representing X and Y values. | |
07. | Color | a color. Usually represented as Red/Green/Blue/Alpha values. | |
08. | Segment | a single bezier curve segment. Defined by 4 Vectors, representing 2 Vertices and 2 Tangents. | |
09. | SplinePoint | a point in a Spline. Defined by 6 parameters (a Vector defining its location, a Real defining its width, another Real defining its origin, a Bool defining whether its tangents are split or not, and two Vectors defining the direction of its tangents (only the first of which is used if the tangents aren't split). | |
10. | List | A list. For example, an outline's Vertices parameter is simply a list of SplinePoint valuenodes. | |
11. | Canvas | A collection of layers. When you group layers, you're creating a new Group Layer called, by default "Group". The group layer has a parameter called 'Canvas' with type 'Canvas' and its value is the group of layers you've grouped. | |
12. | String | a string of characters, for example "Hello Mum!" | |
13. | Gradient | a range of colors (a mapping from a real parameter to a color). Can be defined in many ways, but is usually editing using the gradient editor. |
