13 | Basics Windows and Editors Reference > Attribute Editor Attribute editor graphical controls There are two common graphical controls that appear in the Attribute Editor for certain attributes: ramp and graph. Ramp Each color entry in a ramp has a circular color handle above the ramp, and a square color icon below the ramp. The active color has a white border around its color handle and icon. Ramps can be used for many types of gradients, including transparency, color, and so on. Click the handle to edit the color entry. Click-drag the handle to move the color entry's position. Click to delete the color entry. Click in the ramp to add a new color entry or click-drag to add and interactively position a new color entry. For more details about ramps in shading, see Ramp Shader in the Shading book. Graph The graph control has handles which you can drag in the graph area to set position-value pairs. The active point has a white border around its handle and icon. Graphs can be used for many types of attributes where value changes per position, including paint effect settings, fluid settings, and so on. Click the handle to select it. Click-drag the handle to move the graph point's position. Click to delete the graph point entry. Click in the graph to add a new position-value pair, or drag to position existing points. Opening the ramp and graph controls in a separate window Click the arrow on the right side of the control to open the ramp or graph control in a larger window. For the graph control, you can edit the interpolation method, selected value, and selected position. For the ramp control, you can edit the interpolation method, the selected color, and the color entries. In addition, you can turn on turn off Vertical to switch between a vertical or horizontal layout. Basics 344
