The Curve Editor view in the Animation Window is designed to display animations as graphs, which is particularly useful for animators and developers looking to create smooth and precise animations. In this view, each property that can be animated (such as position, rotation, or scale) is represented as a curve that shows how the value of that property changes over time.

By allowing visualization of these changes, the Curve Editor enables animators to finely tune their animations. Adjustments can be made to control how quickly or slowly properties change, helping to create more natural movements or effects. The curves can be manipulated directly, giving users the ability to add, delete, and adjust keyframes easily while seeing the potential impact immediately in the graph.

In contrast, the Animation Timeline displays animations in a more linear fashion, showing keyframes along a timeline without the detailed representation of how values change over time. The Keyframe View might focus on the specific keyframes and their times without visualizing the underlying value progression. The Timeline Editor also focuses on time-based sequencing rather than on the graphical representation of animated property values as curves. Thus, the Curve Editor stands out as the view specifically designed for analyzing and editing animations graphically through curves.
