TANGENT back to summary

TANGENT	back to summary
public static Interpolator TANGENT(Duration t1, double v1, Duration t2, double v2) Create a tangent interpolator. A tangent interpolator allows to define the behavior of an animation curve very precisely by defining the tangents close to a key frame. A tangent interpolator defines the behavior to the left and to the right of a key frame, therefore it is only useful within a `Timeline`. If used in a `KeyFrame` after a KeyFrame that has different interpolator, it's treated as if the out-tangent of that KeyFrame was equal to the value in the KeyFrame. The parameters define the tangent of the animation curve for the in tangent (before a key frame) and out tangent (after a key frame). Each tangent is specified with a pair, the distance to the key frame and the value of the tangent at this moment. The interpolation then follows a bezier curve, with 2 control points defined by the specified tangent and positioned at 1/3 of the duration before the second KeyFrame or after the first KeyFrame. See the picture above. Parameters t1:Duration The delta time of the in-tangent, relative to the KeyFrame v1:double The value of the in-tangent t2:Duration The delta time of the out-tangent, relative to the KeyFrame v2:double The value of the out-tangent Returns:Interpolator the new tangent interpolator
