Objective
Enhance the Curve View in the Dynamics Editor and Curves Filter.
Design Revisions
Grid Line Visibility
Current State: See the Curves Filter or Dynamics Curve graphs.
Issue: Grid lines in the Curve View are not consistently visible across different background tones.
Solution: Added rendering modes to grid lines, ensuring consistent visibility regardless of the background tone.
Implementation: Implemented rendering modes for grid lines, ensuring consistent visibility across various background tones in the Curve View.
Benefits: Enhanced usability through consistent grid line visibility makes the Curve View easier to interpret and use across different visual contexts.
Coordinate Display Refinement
Current State: X, Y coordinate display in the Curve View.
Issue: The current X, Y coordinate display uses block highlighting, which is visually obtrusive.
Solution: Refined the X, Y coordinate display to avoid block highlighting, improving user experience.
Implementation: Redesigned the X, Y coordinate display to eliminate block highlighting, improving readability and reducing visual distraction.
Benefits: Refined coordinate displays improve visual clarity and reduce interface clutter, making the Curve View more intuitive to use.
Curve Point Visibility
Current State: Curve points in the Curve View.
Issue: Curve points are difficult to see and select, especially on high-resolution displays (e.g., 4K).
Solution: Enhanced curve point visibility and selection, optimizing for 4K displays and ensuring ease of use.
Implementation: Enhanced the visibility and selection of curve points, particularly on high-resolution (e.g., 4K) displays, for a more accessible user experience.
Benefits: Optimized for high resolution displays, ensuring seamless usability on 4K displays and beyond with improved curve point visibility.
Shift-Key Curve Movement
Current State: Curve manipulation in the Curve View.
Issue: No mechanism exists to move all curve points simultaneously, limiting flexibility in curve adjustments.
Solution: Added a new feature: holding the Shift key allows all curve points to move together, enabling global curve adjustments.
Implementation: Introduced the ability to move all curve points simultaneously by holding down the Shift key, providing a quick and efficient way to adjust the entire curve.
Benefits: Increased flexibility through simultaneous movement of all curve points enables efficient global adjustments and streamlined workflows for complex curve editing.
