Inheritance diagram for CTrack:

[legend]

Detailed Description

Represents an animation track.
Contains curves holding keys.
Example: Creating Align to Spline tag and adding track with 2 keys:

// Add align to spline tag to object
BaseTag* tag = op->MakeTag(Taligntospline);
if (tag)
{
  // Allocate track for align to spline tag
  CTrack* track = CTrack::Alloc(tag, DescID(ALIGNTOSPLINETAG_POSITION));
  if (track)
  {
    // Add track to align to spline tag
    tag->InsertTrackSorted(track);
 
    // Get track curve
    CCurve* curve = track->GetCurve();
    if (curve!=nullptr)
    {
      // Add first key
      CKey* key = curve->AddKey(BaseTime(0.0));
      key->SetValue(curve, 0.0);
      // Add second key
      key = curve->AddKey(BaseTime(1.0));
      key->SetValue(curve, 0.9);
    }
  }
}

Note: Has to be created with Alloc() and destroyed with Free(). Use AutoAlloc to automate the allocation and destruction based on scope.
