Drivers Editor
**************
This editor lets you set up :doc:`Drivers </animation/drivers/index>`, which calculate the value for a property
based on other properties. In other words, they make a set of source properties "drive" the target property,
and can thus serve as an alternative to animating the property by hand.

The Drivers Editor, showing how you might drive a cube's rotation based on its position.
The user interface is largely the same as that of the :doc:`Graph Editor </editors/graph_editor/introduction>`,
with two important differences:
- The Sidebar has an additional :doc:`Drivers tab </animation/drivers/drivers_panel>`. This is where
the source properties are brought together to calculate an intermediate value for the target property.
- The curve doesn't represent the property's value over time, but a mapping from the above intermediate
value (X axis) to the final value (Y axis).
