Track View menus and toolbars
In many cases, the menus and the toolbars provide access to the same functionality. One difference is the
Modes menu, which lets you switch the current interface between the Curve Editor and the Dope Sheet lay-
outs. The Curve Editor menus include Modes, Controller, Tracks, Keys, Curves, Options, Display, View,
and Utilities. The Dope Sheet menu loses the Curves menus and adds a Time menu in its place. The Track
Bar menus are the same as the Curve Editor menus, except that the Modes menu is absent.
The Track View consists of several toolbars. You can open these toolbars by right-clicking the toolbar (away
from the buttons) and selecting the Show Toolbars submenu. The available toolbars depend on the layout
(either Curve Editor or Dope Sheet), but they can include Name, Navigation, Key Stats, Key Tangents,
Controllers, Track Selection, Keys, Time, Ranges, Display, Extras, Curves, Tools, and Biped. All these tool-
bars can be docked, floated, and hidden. You can also add and delete new toolbars using the right-click
pop-up menu.
