Detailed Description

Defines an 'animation' class.

This is definition of Animation. Can be reused multiple times via
AnimationInstance class. You can't step this class directly, you have to
instantiate it via AnimationManager::instantiateAnimation.

AnimationInstance provides means for stepping the animation and applying
it to PropertySets.

Animation itself doesn't contain key frames. It is composed of Affector(s). Each Affector affects one Property. So one Animation can affect multiple properties.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum CEGUI::Animation::ReplayMode

enumerates possible replay modes

Enumerator
RM_Once	plays the animation just once, then stops
RM_Loop	loops the animation infinitely
RM_Bounce	infinitely plays the animation forward, when it reaches the end, it plays it backwards, etc...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

CEGUI::Animation::Animation

(

const String &

name

)

internal constructor, please only construct animations via AnimationManager::createAnimation method

Member Function Documentation

void CEGUI::Animation::apply

(

AnimationInstance *

instance

)

Applies this Animation definition using information from given AnimationInstance.

This is internal method, only use if you know what you're doing!

void CEGUI::Animation::autoSubscribe

(

AnimationInstance *

instance

)

Subscribes all auto subscriptions with information from given animation instance.

This is internal method! Only use if you know what you're doing!

void CEGUI::Animation::autoUnsubscribe

(

AnimationInstance *

instance

)

Unsubscribes all auto subscriptions with information from given animation instance.

This is internal method! Only use if you know what you're doing!

Affector* CEGUI::Animation::createAffector

(

void

)

Creates a new Affector.

See Also

Affector

Affector* CEGUI::Animation::createAffector	(	const String &	targetProperty,
		const String &	interpolator
	)

Creates a new Affector.

This is just a helper, finger saving method.

void CEGUI::Animation::defineAutoSubscription	(	const String &	eventName,
		const String &	action
	)

This defined a new auto subscription.

Parameters

eventName	the name of the event we want to subscribe to, CEGUI::Window::EventClicked for example
action	is the action that will be invoked on the animation instance if this event is fired

Auto Subscription does subscribe to event sender (usually target window) of Animation Instance when the event source is set.

Usable action strings:

• Start
• Stop
• Pause
• Unpause
• TogglePause

eventName is the name of the event we want to subscribe to

bool CEGUI::Animation::getAutoStart

(

)

const

Retrieves auto start.

See Also

Animation::setAutoStart

void CEGUI::Animation::savePropertyValues

(

AnimationInstance *

instance

)

Internal method, causes all properties that are used by this animation and it's affectors to be saved.

So their values are still known after they've been affected.

void CEGUI::Animation::setAutoStart

(

bool

autoStart

)

Sets whether this animation auto starts or not.

Auto start means that the animation instances of this definition call Start on themselves once their target is set.

void CEGUI::Animation::undefineAllAutoSubscriptions

(

)

This undefines all previously defined auto subscriptions.

See Also

Animation::defineAutoSubscription

void CEGUI::Animation::undefineAutoSubscription	(	const String &	eventName,
		const String &	action
	)

This undefines previously defined auto subscription.
