Mini-Curve Editor

A mini-curve editor is a scaled-down version of the Keyframe Editor. Appearing in the
Inspector, mini-curve editors give you the functionality to create basic animations directly
in the Inspector, without having to open the Keyframe Editor.

Two Particle behaviors—Scale Over Life and Spin Over Life—have mini-curve editors in
the Inspector (when the Increment Type parameter is set to Custom). Mini-curve editors
are also present for paint objects, in the Stroke pane of the Shape Inspector.

By default, the mini-curve editor is collapsed and shows a scaled-down representation
of the actual animation curve.
