All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class ZNextFrameOnElapsedTime

extends ZNextFrameCondition

ZNextFrameOnElapsedTime allows an animation to schedule its frame rate based on time. This condition is how an animation that wants to be animated every 500 milliseconds would communicate that request to the ZAnimationScheduler.

This class is used internally to support ZAnimation.animationRateByElapsedTime, it should not normally be used directly.

                               long aTimeDurration)

Method Detail

isReadyToAnimate

public boolean isReadyToAnimate()

Description copied from class: ZNextFrameCondition

Return true if this condition has been met, and the next frame of its associated animation is ready to animate. This implementation asks the alpha object if it is started for the current time provided by the ZAnimationScheduler.

Overrides:

isReadyToAnimate in class ZNextFrameCondition

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o)

Description copied from class: ZNextFrameCondition

This is used to compare two frame conditions. The frame condition whos associated animation should be animated first is the greater of the two. The ZAlpha associated with each frame condition is used to determine this.

Overrides:

compareTo in class ZNextFrameCondition
