object Animation

This companion object of class Animation provides a couple of convenience methods (show, generate) for starting animations and an enumeration (AtEnd) for use with the class.

Companion:: class

class Object

trait Matchable

class Any

Animation.type

Type members

Classlikes

The values of this enumeration each specify a different policy for what happens once an Animation reaches the last frame.

Value members

Concrete methods

Uses a given function to generate an animation, then starts and returns that animation.

Value parameters:

atEnd: what should happen once the animation reaches the final Pic
frameRate: a target speed (in Pics per second), which the Animation will roughly observe if possible
makeFrame: a function that generates the frames of the animation: it takes a frame number (>= 0) and returns the corresponding Pic
numberOfFrames: the number of frames in the animation; the numbers 0 <= n < numberOfFrames get passed to makeFrame to generate the animation
terminateOnClose: whether the entire application should exit when the animation window is closed

Returns:

the running animation

Creates and immediately starts an Animation as specified by the parameters.

Value parameters:

atEnd: what should happen once the animation reaches the final Pic
frameRate: a target speed (in Pics per second), which the Animation will roughly observe if possible
frames: the Pics that the animation consists of, in order; they should be identical in size
terminateOnClose: whether the entire application should exit when the animation window is closed

Returns:

the running animation
