// This mel script creates a window with a column of buttons, where each button sets
// a playback range and frames the graph editor on that range.  This is intended for
// use in Maya scenes where there are a number of independent animations 
// on a particular character (game animation) or in a specific scene setup.
// Copy the contents of this script to a Maya Shelf button and then 
// customize as indicated below for each character or entity.
// NOTE: sourcing this script will not work properly - it must be loaded to run
//


// 'search & replace' the 3 occurrences of the word CHARACTER in this file to customize the window title and name

window -w 150 -title "CHARACTER Animations" CHARACTERButton1;
    columnLayout;

// copy the button line below and modify to create a new button that will set the desired range.
// Note: you can use the label name to indicate the output sequence name and range.

    button -w 130 -label "Sample 1" -command ("playbackOptions -min 0 -max 30;" + "frameRange");
    button -w 130 -label "Another Sample" -command ("playbackOptions -min 50 -max 100;" + "frameRange");


// the word CHARACTER below must match the window name set on the first 'window' line.


showWindow CHARACTERButton1;

// DO NOT modify the code below.  It frames the window of the graph editor to match the playback range.
