Generic Inspector Controls
In addition to the parameter control types listed above, several other controls are widely used in the Inspector.
- Show/Hide button: A hidden button that exposes or conceals a group of parameters in the Inspector. When you hold the cursor over the right side of a group header (to the left of the Reset button), the Show/Hide button appears. Click Show to display the parameters. Click Hide to conceal the parameters.
- Preset pop-up menu: A pop-up menu, found in various Inspectors, used to choose a preset text, shape, gradient, or other style to apply to an object. These are the same presets found in the Motion Library. For example, the Shape Style preset pop-up menu lets you apply a style to the selected shape (including paint strokes). Through this menu, you can also save custom text and shape presets to the Library.
- Animation menu: A hidden pop-up menu on the right side of many parameter rows in the Inspector. The Animation menu lets you perform animation- and parameter-related tasks: adding keyframes, assigning Parameter behaviors, managing rigs, and so on. To open an Animation menu in the Inspector, move the pointer to the right side of the parameter you want to animate and, when the downward arrow appears, click it.
For more information on animating parameters using options in the Animation menu, see Animation Menu.
