ParametersPane

From Odwiki

The Parameters Pane is where the parameters for an Operator can be changed and animated. When working directly with nodes in the NetworkEditorPane, this is where you can make your changes to each node's settings.

It is important to note that you can also have Parameters available in the NetworkEditorPane by typing the "p" hotkey or going to the "Operator" pulldown menu in the NetworkEditorPane and selection "Show Parameters". The parameters that appear in the NetworkEditorPane are exactly the same as what appear in the Parameter Pane. Some people like to have a Parameter Pane open all the time, others prefer to turn on and off the parameters in the NetworkEditorPane with the "p" hotkey and not have any Parameter Pane open at all. It's really a personal preference.

To do Animation simply click with the RMB on a parameter or its label!

Generally, the currently selected node will have its parameters automatically displayed in the Parameters Pane, because by default the Parameters Pane is linked to the NetworkEditorPane. However, it is possible that a Parameters Pane can be unlinked from a NetworkEditorPane and therefore not automatically change to the currently selected node. In the image above, the link is highlighted in red. To unlink a Parameter Pane from a NetworkEditorPane simply change this number to nothing or to a number different from the number of the NetworkEditorPane.

To change the Pane's type, use the menu highlighted in green in the image above.
