Relative UV in panel

Beginners
1

Can somebody explain what “Relative UV” does in the panel values? I am comparing the values of U, V, TrueU and TrueV and I can’t seem to understand what the difference really is.

Thanks

the u and v value will update based on relative mouse movement if Relative UV is checked. so if your current u has a value of 0.4, and you click and then move left by 0.1 of the width of your panel, your u value will now be 0.3, regardless of where you click on the panel.

hope this helps.

What do you mean by “click”? Does the “click” have an importance in the measurement or is it just the position of the mouse?

by click I meant where you push down on the mouse button & drag. where you click is 0. you move relative to that point when you drag.
