Nested Class Summary

static class

Animations.OneTimeAnimation Used to apply an effect one-time only.

Method Summary

static Animation	offset(Animation animation, long beginTime) Creates and returns an animation that is defined by a given animation and offset; the resulting animation applies the original effect shifted in time.
static Animation	parallel(Animation... animations) Creates and returns a parallel time container for the given animations, that is an animation that applies the effect of the given animations at the same time.
static Animation	parallel(List<Animation> animations) Creates and returns a parallel time container, that is an animation that applies the effect of the given animations all at the same time.
static Animation	pause(long duration) Creates and returns a pausing animation that has no effect but a duration.
static Animation	repeat(Animation animation, float repeatCount) Creates and returns an animation that is defined by repeating the given animation.
static Animation	repeat(Animation animation, long duration) Creates and returns an animation that is defined by repeating the given animation for the given duration.
static Animation	reverse(Animation animation) Creates and returns an animation that is defined by reverting the given animation over the time.
static Animation	sequential(Animation... animations) Creates and returns a sequenced time container that is an animation, that concatenates the given array of animations over the time.
static Animation	sequential(List<Animation> animations) Creates and returns a sequenced time container that is an animation, that concatenates the given list of animations over the time.

Method Detail

offset

public static Animation offset(Animation animation,
                               long beginTime)

Creates and returns an animation that is defined by a given animation and offset; the resulting animation applies the original effect shifted in time.

Parameters:

animation - the animation to shift

beginTime - the time to begin the shifted animation

Returns:

the shifted animation

parallel

public static Animation parallel(List<Animation> animations)

Creates and returns a parallel time container, that is an animation that applies the effect of the given animations all at the same time.

Parameters:

animations - a List of animations

Returns:

a parallel time container for the given animations

parallel

public static Animation parallel(Animation... animations)

Creates and returns a parallel time container for the given animations, that is an animation that applies the effect of the given animations at the same time.

Parameters:

animations - the animations to be parallized

Returns:

the parallelized animation

pause

public static Animation pause(long duration)

Creates and returns a pausing animation that has no effect but a duration. It is useful in combination with sequenced and parallel time containers.

Parameters:

duration - the pause duration

Returns:

an animation that has no effect

repeat

public static Animation repeat(Animation animation,
                               float repeatCount)

Creates and returns an animation that is defined by repeating the given animation. The result's duration is the duration times repeatCount.

Parameters:

animation - the animation to repeat

repeatCount - the number of repetitions

Returns:

the repeated animation

repeat

public static Animation repeat(Animation animation,
                               long duration)

Creates and returns an animation that is defined by repeating the given animation for the given duration.

Parameters:

animation - the animation to repeat

duration - the duration of the repeated animation

Returns:

the repeated animation

reverse

public static Animation reverse(Animation animation)

Creates and returns an animation that is defined by reverting the given animation over the time.

Parameters:

animation - the animation to reverse

Returns:

the reversed animation

sequential

public static Animation sequential(List<Animation> animations)

Creates and returns a sequenced time container that is an animation, that concatenates the given list of animations over the time.

Parameters:

animations - a List of animations

Returns:

the sequenced animation

sequential

public static Animation sequential(Animation... animations)

Creates and returns a sequenced time container that is an animation, that concatenates the given array of animations over the time.

Parameters:

animations - the animations to be sequenced

Returns:

the sequenced animation
