A property that smoothly transitions to new values instead of assuming them right away.

Transitioning

Transitioning allows to smoothly go from one value to a different one over a period of time.

Number of milliseconds it takes to go from one value to a different one.

Interpolation to use for going from source to target.

The time the transition started. If 0, no transition is in progress.

T

The value we are transitioning from.

T

The value we are transitioning to.

Public Functions

const T &

Get the current value.

Return the time source to which interpolation synchronizes.

Set the desired value.

Set the interpolation to use for going from one ambient color to a different one.

Set the amount of time it takes to go from one ambient color to a different one.

Detailed Description

A property that smoothly transitions to new values instead of assuming them right away.

Parameters:

T

Value type. Must have "interpolate( from, to, factor )" method.

TimeSource

Time source to which interpolation is synchronized.

Transitioning

Transitioning allows to smoothly go from one value to a different one over a period of time.

TimeSourceType mTimeSource 
TimeType mBlendPhaseTime 

Number of milliseconds it takes to go from one value to a different one.

EaseF mTransitionCurve 

Interpolation to use for going from source to target.

TimeType mTransitionStartTime 

The time the transition started. If 0, no transition is in progress.

T mSourceValue 

The value we are transitioning from.

T mTargetValue 

The value we are transitioning to.

Public Types

Enumerator

DEFAULT_TRANSITION_TIME = 2000

Default time (in milliseconds) to go from one value to a new one.

typedef TimeSource TimeSourceType 
typedef TimeSource::TickType TimeType 

Protected Attributes

T mCurrentValue 

The current value.

Protected Functions

_update()

Update mCurrentValue.

Public Functions

InterpolatedChangeProperty(const T & initialValue)

getCurrentValue()

Get the current value.

If a transition is in progress, this will be an interpolation of the last value and the new one.

geTimeSource()

Return the time source to which interpolation synchronizes.

getTimeSource()

setTargetValue(const T & value)

Set the desired value.

If this differs from the current value, a smooth blend to the given color will be initiated.

Parameters:

value

Desired value.

setTransitionCurve(const EaseF & ease)

Set the interpolation to use for going from one ambient color to a different one.

setTransitionTime(TimeType time)

Set the amount of time it takes to go from one ambient color to a different one.
