Description

An easing is a interpolator runs t from [0, 1], where t=0 is the first frame and t=1 the last frame of the animation.
This interpolator can be viewed as the speed interpolator and its the first one in the Animation Pipeline.
The output value will be used to feed the oscillator.
Usually outputs a value from [0, 1] but other values are also possible.

This interpolator can be used outside physical motion (left/right/top/bottom).
In cases of textual property, such as color, text, src, the easing will define how quickly those values will change among a list defined valueText or by using valueFormat.
In this case, the startValue and value should be between [0, 1].
Setting a startValue higher than value, will reverse the direction of the changes.

The easing can also be used to define the speed of the changes of multi-parameter properties, such as text-shadow, by using as an input of a valueFormat.

This is the first stage of the Animation Pipeline.

An easing can be defined by:

1. Name - It will use the list of easings predefined or added via plugins.
2. Expression - It evaluate the expression for each frame, passing the variable t.
3. Code Handler - This function will receive the variable t.

WARNING Code Handlers aren't teleported, therefore it can't be used in remote rendering.

Built-in easings

BeamToIX includes a list of the most common easings by bundling the jquery.easing plugin.
More can be added via plugins.

#API ## EasingFunc

public export type

export type EasingFunc = (t: number, params: EasingParams, args?: BeamToIXArgs) => number;
Copy

Defines the easing Code Handler.

An easing is a interpolator runs t from [0, 1], where t=0 is the first frame and t=1 the last frame of the animation.
This interpolator can be viewed as the speed interpolator and its the first one in the Animation Pipeline.
Usually outputs a value from [0, 1] but other values are also possible.

EasingHandler

public export type

export type EasingHandler = EasingName | string | ExprString | EasingFunc | ExprName;
Copy

Defines the easing type, which is either string representing a predefined easing function or a custom function (see easing function).

The easing function interpolates from [0, 1].

EasingParams

public export type

export type EasingParams = AnyParams;
Copy

Defines the Base parameters for every easing function.
At the moment no parameter is required, but it can change in the future.
