Members

element$.oElement

Retrieve and set the drawing element attached to the column.

readonlyframesArray.<$.oFrame>

An array of the oFrame objects provided by the column.

readonlykeyframesArray.<$.oFrame>

An array of the keyframes provided by the column.

namestring

The name of the column.

selectedbool

Whether the column is selected.

stepSectionobject

An object with three int values : start, end and step, representing the value of the stepped section parameter (interpolation with non linear "step" parameter).

Methods

duplicate(duplicateElement, newAttribute){$.oColumn}

openHarmony/openHarmony_column.js, line 619

Duplicates a Drawing column.

Name	Type	Default	Description
duplicateElement	bool	true	optional Whether to also duplicate the element. Default is true.
newAttribute	$.oAttribute		optional Whether to link the new column to an attribute at this point.

Type	Description
$.oColumn	The created column.

extendExposures(exposures, amount, replace)

openHarmony/openHarmony_column.js, line 597

Extends the exposure of the drawing's keyframes by the specified amount.

Name	Type	Default	Description
exposures	Array.<$.oFrame>		optional The exposures to extend. If not specified, extends all keyframes.
amount	int		optional The number of frames to add to each exposure. If not specified, will extend frame up to the next one.
replace	bool	false	optional Setting this to false will insert frames as opposed to overwrite existing ones.(currently unsupported))

inherited getKeyframes(){Array.<$.oFrame>}

openHarmony/openHarmony_column.js, line 376

inherited getValue(frame){various}

openHarmony/openHarmony_column.js, line 415

Gets the value of the column at the given frame.

Name	Type	Default	Description
frame	int	1	optional The frame at which to get the value

various	The value of the column, can be different types depending on column type.

inherited interpolateValueAtFrame(percentage, frameNumber)

openHarmony/openHarmony_column.js, line 496

Create/Set a key at the given percentage between the surrounding keys. Requires the column to contain at least 2 keys.

Name	Type	Description
percentage	int	a value between 0 and 100 representing the position between first and second key
frameNumber	int	the frame number to place the new value.

Example

// grab the current node and create a key at the current frame halfway between existing keys on all linked columns for this node.
var selectedNode = $.scn.selectedNodes[0];
var columns = _node.linkedColumns;
var percentage = 50;
var frameNumber = $.scn.currentFrame();

for (var i in columns){
  try{
	   columns[i].interpolateValueAtFrame(percentage, frameNumber); // ommitting the arguments will create a key at 50% on current frame by default.
  }catch(e){
    // will output errors for columns with less than 2 keys or which type don't support interpolation (for ex, DRAWING)
    $.log(e);
  }
