The canvas menu is obtained by right-clicking (without a drag) within the canvas area. Many of the functions have icons in the main user interface, but the menu can be handy when the toolbars are closed, and it also allows keyboard commands to be set up. There are two submenus, Mode (abbreviated m.) and View Controls (abbreviated v.c.).
m./Select. Go to select-keys mouse mode. m./Value. Go to set-value mouse mode. m./Time. Go to re-time keys mouse mode. m./Add Keys. Go to add keys mouse mode. m./Delete Keys. Go to delete keys mouse mode.
m./Deglitch. Go to deglitch mouse mode. m./Isolate On. Go to isolate mouse mode. m./Zoom. Go to zoom mouse mode.
m./To Tracks Mode. Change to tracks mode.
Reset time axis. Reset the time axis so the entire length of the shot is shown. Reset all channel zooms. Resets all channels to their nominal unzoomed range. Set to Linear Key. Sets all selected keys to be linear (corners).
Set to Smooth Key. Sets all selected keys to be smooth (spline).
Copy Selected Keys. Copy the selected keys onto the shared graph-editor clipboard. Note: you can only paste in the hierarchy area, because that is where you can and must specify what node/channel the keys should be pasted into.
Cut Selected Keys. Copy the selected keys onto the shared graph-editor clipboard, then delete them.
Delete Selected Keys-only. Delete only the selected keys, which may require replacing the value instead of deleting the key. Example, you delete X key of a camera path. Y and Z have keys already. A new value is computed for X, what X would be if there was no key there. Since it must have a key, this computed value is used.
Delete Selected Keys-all. Deletes selected keys outright, including in shared-key channel groups. Deleting a camera X key will delete keys on Y and Z also. See the graph editor right-click menu for different versions.
Delete Selected Trackers. Deletes selected trackers.
Approximate Keys . Replaces the selected keys with a smaller number that approximate the original curve.
Exactify trackers . Replaces selected tracker position keys with new values based on the solved 3-D position of the tracker—same as the Exact button on the Tracker Panel. v.c./Draw all selected nodes. Controls whether or not selected nodes are drawn,
equivalent to the button on the user interface.
v.c./Lock time to main. The time bar is made to synchronize with the main timebar, for when the graph editor is embedded in a viewport. Not recommended, likely to be substantially changed in the future.
v.c./Snap channels to grid. Controls whether or not channels being panned have their origin (zero value) snapped onto one of the horizontal grid lines.
v.c./Colorful background. Show the colorful background indicated whether or not enough trackers are present.
v.c./Remove menu ghosts. Some OpenGL cards do not redraw correctly after a pop- up menu has appeared, this control forces a delayed redraw to remove the ghost. On by default and harmless, but this lets you disable it. This setting is shared throughout SynthEyes and saved as a preference.
