| + | ===== A small primer on splines ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | We tried to be consistent in the naming of the controls and various parts of a spline, so here's a list of the terminology used in this documentation: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **Knot** A knot is a point that defines a spline. The spline will always pass through a knot. | ||
| + | * **Control Point / CP** Every knot has two control points, they define the incoming and outgoing shape of the spline at that knot. | ||
| + | * **Span** This is the part of a spline between two knots. | ||

| + | ===== Utility Plugins ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | S-Tk includes utility plugins that can be added to a menu or assigned to a shortcut: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * **db&w Add Spline** Adds a Null object and attaches a [[primitive]] to it, effectively creating a new spline object. The panel for the [[primitive]] will be opened. | ||
| + | * **db&w Add & Edit Spline** Adds a Null object, attaches a [[primitive]] to it and then launches the [[layout-tool|Spline Edit Tool]] to directly edit the newly created Spline object. | ||
| + | * **Open Spline Preferences** Opens the [[prefs]] and adds the master plugin to the current scene (if required). | ||
