<p>The Motion Paths tool allows you to visualize the motion of points as paths over a series of frames.
These points can be object origins and bone joints.</p>
<p>To create or remove motion paths, it is necessary to first select the bones. Then:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>To show the paths (or update them, if needed), click on the <em>Calculate Path</em> button.</li>
<li>To hide the paths, click on the <em>Clear Paths</em> button.</li>
</ol>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">Remember that only selected bones and their paths are affected by these actions!</p>
</div>
<p>The paths are shown in a light shade of gray for unselected points,
and a slightly blueish gray for selected ones.
Around the current frame a glow indicate the direction of movement:
blue towards future frames and green towards the past.
Each frame is displayed by a small white dot on the paths.</p>
<p>The paths are automatically updated when you edit your poses/keyframes,
and they are also active during animation playback. Playing the animation
affects the paths only when the <em>Around Current Frame</em> option is enabled.</p>
