EntryWhat it does
Channel NameThe name of the currently active F-Curve channel.
RNA PathRNA Path to property. This is a read only information.
RNA Array IndexThe RNA Array Index to the specific property affected by the F-Curve if applicable. This is a read only information.

Display Color

Display Color

With what colors to display the curves. User defined allows you to choose a custom color for the curve. A color field appears. The other methods works random.

Handle Smoothing

Left Handle Type / Right Handle Type

Set the handle type. The handles of a keyframe can be independent. Some constellations just works with some other constellations.

EntryWhat it does
FreeMove and adjust the handles independently.
AlignedWith the left handler the right handler moves too.
VectorCreates a curve with straight lines.
AutomaticCreates a smooth curve.
Auto ClampedCreates a smooth curve that only changes the direction at other curve points. It is clamped to prevent overshoots in the curve shape.
