Synopsis

animDisplay [-modelUpdate string] [-refAnimCurvesEditable boolean] [-timeCode string] [-timeCodeOffset string]

animDisplay is undoable, queryable, and editable.

Return value

None

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.

Flags

Long name (short name)	Argument types	Properties
-modelUpdate(-upd)	string
Controls how changes to animCurves are propagated through the dependency graph. Valid modes are "none", "interactive" or "delayed". If modelUpdate is "none" then changing an animCurve will not cause the model to be updated (change currentTime in order to update the model). If modelUpdate is "interactive" (which is the default setting), then as interactive changes are being made to the animCurve, the model will be updated. If modelUpdate is delayed, then the model is updated once the final change to an animCurve has been made. With modelUpdate set to either "interactive" or "delayed", changes to animCurves made via commands will also cause the model to be updated.
-refAnimCurvesEditable(-rae)	boolean
Specify if animation curves from referenced files are editable.
-timeCode(-tc)	string
Controls how time value are display. Valid values are "frame", "timecode", "fulltimecode". If the value is "frame" maya will display time in frame everywhere. If the value is "timecode" maya will display time in timecode in time slider, graph editor and dope sheet. If the value is "fulltimecode" maya will display time in timecode everywhere.
-timeCodeOffset(-tco)	string
This flag has now been deprecated. It still exists to not break legacy scripts, but it will now do nothing. See the new timeCode command to set and query timeCodes.

Flag can appear in Create mode of command	Flag can appear in Edit mode of command
Flag can appear in Query mode of command	Flag can be used more than once in a command.

MEL examples

// If the current time unit were ntsc (30 frames per
// second) frame 50 would be displayed as "00:00:01:20".
//
animDisplay -timeCode on;

// Set the display option so that interactive operations
// in the graph editor or dope sheet will cause the
// model views to be updated simultaneously
//
animDisplay -modelUpdate interactive;
