Note that a layer sees all the layers underneath as a single combined raster. Some layers (transforms, distortions, etc) just modify the raster result of the previous layers and pass that on to the next layer, instead of blending. The raster result of the previous layers is combined with the current one according to the set blending method. It doesn't carry any information about the vector shapes that it's representing, only their pixel data. A raster is an array of pixels, each pixel with its color/opacity. Once a layer has the values for it's parameters, it renders the intended shape or effect onto a raster. Since ValueNodes can be animated (meaning that they can change value at different points of time), so the entire tree needs to be evaluated on each frame. This process works recursively, going all the way down to the leaf nodes, calculating their value, then calculating the value of their parent, and so on until reaching the root of the node tree. If a parameter is ValueNode (calculated value), then it evaluates its parameters. When Synfig needs to render a frame it starts by evaluating parameters of layers. This ValueNode stores multiple values of parameter for different moments of time and calculates interpolated values between them. Synfig-core/src/synfig/valuenodes/valuenode_animatedinterface.h Synfig-core/src/synfig/valuenodes/valuenode_animatedinterface.cpp Synfig-core/src/synfig/valuenodes/valuenode_animated.h Synfig-core/src/synfig/valuenodes/valuenode_animated.cpp The basic building block in Synfig is Layer. So, we have following structure: gui -> libsynfigapp -> libsynfig This defines how application looks and behave.

synfig-studio/src/gui/ - Code of GUI written in GTKmm.

When user makes some change to Synfig file in GUI, then an action is called that does the actual modification. It contains code for actions - operations that transform loaded Synfig's file in some way. This is a layer between GUI and libsynfig (from synfig-core).

synfig-studio/src/synfigapp/ - Code of libsynfigapp library.

It uses libsynfig to read Synfig files and render them in any supported format.

synfig-core/src/tool/ - Code of synfig command-line tool (binary is simply called synfig).

synfig-core/src/modules/mod_noise/valuenode_random.cpp.

Implement a valuenode (see below on valuenodes).

synfig-core/src/modules/mod_noise/distort.cpp - Noise Distort Layer.

synfig-core/src/modules/lyr_freetype/lyr_freetype.cpp - Text Layer.

synfig-core/src/modules/mod_geometry/circle.cpp - Circle Layer.

synfig-core/src/modules/mod_gif/trgt_gif.cpp.

synfig-core/src/modules/mod_png/trgt_png.cpp.

Add support for exporting (rendering) to specific file format(s).

synfig-core/src/modules/mod_bmp/mptr_bmp.cpp.

synfig-core/src/modules/mod_png/mptr_png.cpp.

Add support for importing specific file format(s).

synfig-core/src/modules/ - Functionality of libsynfig can be extended with modules and this directory is a place for them.

The libsynfig library is used by all other Synfig's components. It contains code of render engine and routines for reading/writing Synfig's files. This is actually the main part of synfig-core.

synfig-core/src/synfig/ - Code of "libsynfig" library.

If you want to hack on the interface, this is what you should look at.

synfig-studio is the graphical editor.

This directory contains the Synfig library and the Synfig command-line tool. It renders scenes and knows how to read and write Synfig XML files. Every part of the Synfig project uses ETL in some way.

ETL is a template library that implements reference counting, portable threading and other low-level stuff.

You can access the file’s Properties from here.Synfig is divided into three components: ETL, synfig-core and synfig-studio.

To change the FPS, you have to find the “Canvas” option on the top toolbar. 24 is pretty common, but if you’re working on your own animation, there are no rules. Frames per second (FPS) determines how fast things go, basically. So what do we do now? Frames per second, keyframes, and youįirst things first: frames per second, and keyframes. At least not one that makes your animation look good. I haven’t had as much time as I’d hoped in the past few weeks to work on animation, but so far I’ve found no magic bullet or special shortcut. Animating, as it turns out, is probably just going to be time-consuming no matter what. That’s riiiight! There’s no secret to animating easily. Guess what I found out! There is no secret What’s next? We get to animate now, right? I’ve spent the last week or so trying to figure out the secret to animating easily (and well) in Synfig. We’ve also gone over how to make a useful character model. We’ve covered some basics of drawing in Synfig Studio.
