 Additionally, letters underneath the points designate the type of animation, **S** for static, **A** for enveloped animations, **K** for enveloped animations if the current frame is a key frame, **I** for following items and **Sh** for points controlled by shape animation. Capital letters are used for the knots, small caps for the other points. These can be disabled using the **Point Labels** settings in the tool panel. Additionally, letters underneath the points designate the type of animation, **S** for static, **A** for enveloped animations, **K** for enveloped animations if the current frame is a key frame, **I** for following items and **Sh** for points controlled by shape animation.

 A shape is the position and state of all knots on a spline stored as a separate entity. The shapes are displayed in a list and they can be used to change the spline using a progress envelope. You can think of shapes as morph or poses for the spline. A shape is the position and state of all knots on a spline stored as a separate entity.

 If the spline animation is driven by shapes, individual points can still be animated separately. Be it by using envelopes or following an item. They can even be set to be static. If the spline animation is driven by shapes, individual points can still be animated separately. Be it by using envelopes or following an item.
