Class KeyValues<T>


  • public class KeyValues<T>
    extends java.lang.Object
    Stores a list of values that correspond to the times in a KeyTimes object. These structures are then used to create a KeyFrames object, which is then used to create a PropertySetter for the purposes of modifying an object's property over time.

    At each of the times in KeyTimes, the property will take on the corresponding value in the KeyValues object. Between these times, the property will take on a value based on the interpolation information stored in the KeyFrames object and the Evaluator for the type of the values in KeyValues.

    This class has built-in support for various known types, as defined in Evaluator.

    For a simple example using KeyValues to create a KeyFrames and PropertySetter object, see the class header comments in PropertySetter.

      • create

        public static <T> KeyValues<T> create​(T... params)
        Constructs a KeyValues object from one or more values. The internal Evaluator is automatically determined by the type of the parameters.
        Parameters:
        params - the values to interpolate between. If there is only one parameter, this is assumed to be a "to" animation where the first value is dynamically determined at runtime when the animation is started.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if an Evaluator cannot be found that can interpolate between the value types supplied
      • create

                                              T... params)
        Constructs a KeyValues object from a Evaluator and one or more values.
        Parameters:
        params - the values to interpolate between. If there is only one parameter, this is assumed to be a "to" animation where the first value is dynamically determined at runtime when the animation is started.
        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if params does not have at least one value.
