Abstract
A method and system for displaying, an animation spline produced from a sequence of knots is disclosed. In one embodiment, a user may flip the vertical axis of selected 'pose' knots to visually enhance anomalies in the animation spline trajectory on a display screen. Visually exaggerating the trajectory of the animation spline provides a display that facilitates a user in detecting and correcting such anomalies in the animation spline.
