Quick Reference to Scripting Command

Truncate Operation Dialog

Truncate Controls

Levels

This is the size of the color range you want to create. A large number will allow for a large range and therefore create little noticeable difference in the image, while a small number will allow for a small range and create a significant difference. These can be chosen from the presets, or you can select "N" and choose any range from 2 up to 255.

RGBA

Red, Green, Blue, or Alpha channels can be controlled independently.

Trend

Some of the controls have a Trend button next to them. These trend buttons allow you to set variables over a series of frames. Each frame of any animation may be thought of as a slice of time. The trends allow you to alter some, all, or none of the variables for a particular time slice. Trend graphs have equidistantly spaced vertical lines. For animations under 100 frames in length, each of these lines represents a frame in the animation. The number of frames in any one sequence can be altered using the Sequence controls item from the Timeline pull down menu. Animation lengths of 100 - 999 frames will be represented with a vertical bar being 10 frames, and animation length greater than 1000 frames will have a vertical bar for every 100 frames.
