Class PInterpolatingActivity

java.lang.Object

org.piccolo2d.activities.PActivity

org.piccolo2d.activities.PInterpolatingActivity

Direct Known Subclasses:

PColorActivity, PTransformActivity

public class PInterpolatingActivity
extends PActivity

PInterpolatingActivity interpolates between two states (source and destination) over the duration of the activity. The interpolation can be either linear or slow- in, slow-out.

The mode determines how the activity interpolates between the two states. The default mode interpolates from source to destination, but you can also go from destination to source, and from source to destination to source.

A loopCount of greater then one will make the activity reschedule itself when it has finished. This makes the activity loop between the two states.

Constructor Detail

PInterpolatingActivity

public PInterpolatingActivity(long duration)

Constructs an interpolating activity that will last the duration given.

Parameters:

duration - duration in milliseconds of the entire activity

Since:

1.3

PInterpolatingActivity

public PInterpolatingActivity(long duration,
                      long stepRate)

Constructs an interpolating activity that will last the duration given and will update its target at the given rate.

Parameters:

duration - duration in milliseconds of the entire activity

stepRate - interval in milliseconds between updates to target

PInterpolatingActivity

public PInterpolatingActivity(long duration,
                      long stepRate,
                      int loopCount,
                      int mode)

Constructs an interpolating activity that will last the duration given and will update its target at the given rate. Once done, it will repeat the loopCount times.

Parameters:

duration - duration in milliseconds of the entire activity

stepRate - interval in milliseconds between updates to target

loopCount - # of times to repeat this activity.

mode - controls the direction of the interpolation (source to destination, destination to source, or source to destination back to source)

PInterpolatingActivity

public PInterpolatingActivity(long duration,
                      long stepRate,
                      long startTime,
                      int loopCount,
                      int mode)

Create a new PInterpolatingActivity.

Parameters:

duration - the length of one loop of the activity

stepRate - the amount of time between steps of the activity

startTime - the time (relative to System.currentTimeMillis()) that this activity should start. This value can be in the future.

loopCount - number of times the activity should reschedule itself

mode - defines how the activity interpolates between states

Method Detail

setDuration

public void setDuration(long duration)

Set the amount of time that this activity should take to complete, after the startStepping method is called. The duration must be greater then zero so that the interpolation value can be computed.
