ValueNode Types
Each ValueNode (and hence each Parameter) in Synfig has one of 13 types:
-
Bool -- a boolean value; true or false. Represented in Studio as a checkbox -
Integer -- an integer value; a whole number. -3 or 0 or 2 are examples. -
Real -- a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_number real number}}. -3.0, 0.0, 2.0 and 3.1415 are examples. -
Angle -- a real number that is interpreted as an angle -
Time -- a time, displayed in days, hours, minutes, seconds and frames -
Vector -- a 2d vector. usually represented as two Reals representing X and Y values -
Color -- a color. Usually represented as Red/Green/Blue/Alpha values -
Segment -- a single bezier curve segment. Defined by 4 Vectors, representing 2 Vertices and 2 Tangents -
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) -
List -- A list. For example, an outline's Vertices parameter is simply a list of SplinePoint valuenodes. -
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. -
String -- a string of characters, for example "Hello Mum!" - '
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.
