Equation Curve
- x(t) or r(t)
-
Specify x or r as a function of t. For example x(t): t^2.
- y(t) or θ(t) or ϕ(t)
-
Specify y or θ or θ as a function of t. For example, y(t): t^2.
- z(t) or θ(a)
-
Specify z, or θ as a function of t. For example, z(t): t^2.
- tmin
-
Specify the minimum value to evaluate.
- tmax
-
specify the maximum value to evaluate.
- Cartesian, Cylindrical, or Spherical
-
Select the coordinate system to use. Choose from Cartesian (x, y, z) , Cylindrical (r, θ, z) or Spherical (r, ϕ, θ).
- Show units
-
When not checked, the equation is displayed as entered. When checked, the equation is displayed with all units parsed.
- Show transform
-
Available when editing an equation curve. Displays the Position and Rotation values for X, Y, Z. The values are zero until the curve has been moved by dragging, constraints, or dimensions.
