 This Master Plugin defines the defaults for splines in the current scene. The settings are saved with the scene.
 ===== Controls =====
-==== Evaluation Steps ====
-==== Selected Steps ====
-This is used when the spline is selected and drawn into a viewport.
+==== Show Knots ====
+Displays a small circle at the position of the knots in the viewport.
-The value is number of lines drawn in the layout viewport per span to approximate the shape of the spline. The higher the value, the smoother the viewport representation is.
+==== Show Start/End Knots ====
-However, a larger value also takes longer to draw and uses a bit more memory.
+Displays a small circle at the position of the starting and ending knot of a spline in the viewport. This uses the colours defined below.
-==== Deselected Steps ====
+==== Start Colour ====
-This is used when the spline is not selected and drawn into a viewport.
+This is the colour used to draw the first knot in a spline (if Show Start/End Knots is enabled) and also to draw the main handle of the incoming control point of a knot.
+==== End Colour ====
+This is the colour used to draw the last knot in a spline (if Show Start/End Knots is enabled) and also to draw the main handle of the outgoing control point of a knot.
+==== Selected Spline / Deselected Spline ====
+The following settings are available for selected and deselected spline. This allows you to reduce clutter in the viewport for splines that aren't selected.
+=== Display Steps per Knot ===
+This is used when the spline is selected and drawn into a viewport.
 The value is number of lines drawn in the layout viewport per span to approximate the shape of the spline. The higher the value, the smoother the viewport representation is.

 This value can be quite low if you have many splines in your scene and the ones you don't have selected don't have to be as precise.
-==== Selected Width ====
+=== Line Width ===
-==== Deselected Width ====
+The width of the lines used to draw a selected spline in the viewports in pixels.
-==== Show Knots ====
-==== Show Start/End Knots ====
+=== Display Alignment ===
-==== Show Normals ====
-==== Start Colour ====
-This is the colour used to draw the first knot in a spline (if Show Start/End Knots is enabled) and also to draw the main handle of the incoming control point of a knot.
-==== End Colour ====
-This is the colour used to draw the last knot in a spline (if Show Start/End Knots is enabled) and also to draw the main handle of the outgoing control point of a knot.
+This shows the orientation along the spline as well as the influence of the up vector.
+  * **None** Doesn't show any normals.
+  * **Every Step** Shows the normals for every Evaluation Step.
+  * **Knots Only** Only shows the normals at the knots.
+  * **Ribbon** Doesn't show the normals but displays the spline as a ribbon.
