timeEditorPanel(*args, **kwargs)¶

Time Editor - non-linear animation editor

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
activeClipEditMode / ace		int
	Set the appropriate clip edit mode for the editor. 0: Default Mode1: Trim Mode2: Scale Mode3: Loop Mode4: Hold Mode
activeTabRootClipId / atr		bool
	Get the clip id for which current active tab has been opened. In case of main tab, this will return -1 meaning there is no root clip.
activeTabTime / att		bool
	Get current time displayed inside the active tab. This will be global time in case of the main tab and local time for others.
activeTabView / atv		int
	Get/set the index of the tab widget’s (active) visible tab. Note: the index is zero-based.
autoFit / af		unicode
	on | off | tgl Auto fit-to-view.
contextMenu / cm		bool
control / ctl		bool
	Query only. Returns the top level control for this editor. Usually used for getting a parent to attach popup menus. Caution: It is possible for an editor to exist without a control. The query will return NONEif no control is present.
defineTemplate / dt		unicode
	Puts the command in a mode where any other flags and arguments are parsed and added to the command template specified in the argument. They will be used as default arguments in any subsequent invocations of the command when templateName is set as the current template.
displayActiveKeyTangents / dat		unicode
	on | off | tgl Display active key tangents in the editor.
displayActiveKeys / dak		unicode
	on | off | tgl Display active keys in the editor.
displayInfinities / di		unicode
	on | off | tgl Display infinities in the editor.
displayKeys / dk		unicode
	on | off | tgl Display keyframes in the editor.
displayTangents / dtn		unicode
	on | off | tgl Display tangents in the editor.
displayValues / dv		unicode
	on | off | tgl Display active keys and tangents values in the editor.
docTag / dtg		unicode
	Attaches a tag to the editor.
exists / ex		bool
	Returns whether the specified object exists or not. Other flags are ignored.
filter / f		unicode
	Specifies the name of an itemFilter object to be used with this editor. This filters the information coming onto the main list of the editor.
focusTrack / ft		unicode
forceMainConnection / fmc		unicode
	Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object that the editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only display items contained in the selectionConnection object. This is a variant of the -mainListConnection flag in that it will force a change even when the connection is locked. This flag is used to reduce the overhead when using the -unlockMainConnection , -mainListConnection, -lockMainConnection flags in immediate succession.
groupIdForTabView / gtv		int
	Get the group clip id for the given tab view index. To specify the tab index, this flag must appear before the -query flag.
highlightConnection / hlc		unicode
	Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object that the editor will synchronize with its highlight list. Not all editors have a highlight list. For those that do, it is a secondary selection list.
keyingTarget / kt		int
	Set keying target to specified clip ID. If keying into layer, ‘-layer’ flag must be used. In query mode, the clip id is omitted, and the name of the keying target will be returned.
layerId / l		int
	Indicate layer ID of keying target.
lockMainConnection / lck		bool
	Locks the current list of objects within the mainConnection, so that only those objects are displayed within the editor. Further changes to the original mainConnection are ignored.
lookAt / la		unicode
	all | selected | currentTime FitView helpers.
mainListConnection / mlc		unicode
	Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object that the editor will use as its source of content. The editor will only display items contained in the selectionConnection object.
menu / m		script
	Specify a script to be run when the editor is created. The function will be passed one string argument which is the new editor’s name.
minClipWidth / mcw		int
	Set the minimum clip width.
panel / pnl		unicode
	Specifies the panel for this editor. By default if an editor is created in the create callback of a scripted panel it will belong to that panel. If an editor does not belong to a panel it will be deleted when the window that it is in is deleted.
parent / p		unicode
	Specifies the parent layout for this editor. This flag will only have an effect if the editor is currently un-parented.
selectionConnection / slc		unicode
	Specifies the name of a selectionConnection object that the editor will synchronize with its own selection list. As the user selects things in this editor, they will be selected in the selectionConnection object. If the object undergoes changes, the editor updates to show the changes.
setToPrevClipEditMode / spe		bool
	Revert to previous clip edit mode.
snapTime / st		unicode
	none | integer | keyframe Keyframe move snap in time.
snapToClip / stc		bool
	Enable/Disable snap-to-clip option in Time Editor while manipulating and drag-and-drop clips. When snapToClip is on all manipulated timing will land on a clip boundary if it is close to it.
snapToFrame / stf		bool
	Enable/Disable snap-to-frame option in Time Editor while manipulating and drag-and-drop clips. When snapToFrame is on all manipulated timing will land on an exact frame.
snapTolerance / sto		int
	Set the tolerance value for snapping.
snapValue / sv		unicode
	none | integer | keyframe Keyframe move snap in values.
stateString / sts		bool
	Query only flag. Returns the MEL command that will create an editor to match the current editor state. The returned command string uses the string variable $editorName in place of a specific name.
tabView / tv		int
	Create a tab view for the given group clip ID.
timeCursor / tc		bool
	Activate the time cursor in Time Editor for scrubbing.
togglekeyview / tkv		bool
unParent / up		bool
	Specifies that the editor should be removed from its layout. This cannot be used in query mode.
unlockMainConnection / ulk		bool
	Unlocks the mainConnection, effectively restoring the original mainConnection (if it is still available), and dynamic updates.
updateMainConnection / upd		bool
	Causes a locked mainConnection to be updated from the orginal mainConnection, but preserves the lock state.
useTemplate / ut		unicode
	Forces the command to use a command template other than the current one. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
viewLeft / vl		bool
viewRight / vr		bool

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.timeEditorPanel

Example:

::

import pymel.core as pm

# Check to see if the “default” time editor has been created # pm.timeEditorPanel( ‘timeEditorPanel1TimeEd’, exists=True ) # Result: True #

# Open the group(id=1) in local time tab # pm.timeEditorPanel( ‘timeEditorPanel1TimeEd’, e=True, tabView=1 );

# Query the current active tab view # pm.timeEditorPanel( ‘timeEditorPanel1TimeEd’, q=True, activeTabView=True ) ;

# Query the corresponding group given the tab view index # pm.timeEditorPanel( ‘timeEditorPanel1TimeEd’, q=True, activeTabTime=True ) ;

# Query the corresponding group given the tab view index # pm.timeEditorPanel( ‘timeEditorPanel1TimeEd’, groupIdForTabView=1, q=True );
