Detailed Description

Named property class.

Library: views

IlvAnimator is a subclass of IlvNamedProperty that deals with animation. You can use it to animate any object that can be connected to a named property (IlvGraphic, IlvGadgetItem, IlvPane, IlvNotebookPage). Once started the animator calls the virtual method IlvAnimator::animate to animate the object.

See Also: IlvBitmapAnimator, IlvGraphicAnimator

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum IlvAnimator::IlvAnimationMode

This enumeration defines the possible values for the animation mode of an IlvAnimator object.

See Also: IlvAnimator::setAnimationMode

Enumerator
IlvAnimationNone	The animator is stopped
IlvAnimationForward	The animator is running forward, and loops once it has reached the last state of the animator
IlvAnimationBackward	The animator is running backward, and loops once it has reached the first state of the animator
IlvAnimationForwardOnce	The animator is running forward, and stops once it has reached the last state of the animator.
IlvAnimationBackwardOnce	The animator is running backward, and stops once it has reached the first state of the animator

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

IlvAnimator::IlvAnimator	(	IlSymbol *	name,
		IlvAnimationMode	mode = `IlvAnimationForward`,
		IlUInt	period = `100`
	)

Constructor.

Initializes a new instance of the IlvAnimator class. The animator will start when it is connected to any object.

Parameters

name	The animator name.
mode	The animation mode.
period	The animator period.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void IlvAnimator::animate ( )

virtual

Called to animate the animator.

The default implementation calls IlvAnimator::changeState with the result of IlvAnimator::nextState as new state, and with redraw set to IlTrue.

See Also: getState, nextState, setState, changeState

Reimplemented in IlvGraphicAnimator.

void IlvAnimator::changeState	(	IlUInt	state,
		IlBoolean	redraw = `IlTrue`
	)

Changes the animator state.

This method calls IlvAnimator::setState to change the state, and then calls IlvAnimator::stateChanged.

Parameters

state	The new animator state.
redraw	A Boolean specifying whether the animator should be redrawn.

See Also: getState, nextState, setState, reDrawViews

IlvAnimationMode IlvAnimator::getAnimationMode ( ) const

Returns the animation mode of the animator.

Returns: The animation mode.

See Also: setAnimationMode(IlvAnimationMode), setAnimationMode(IlvAnimationMode, IlUInt)

IlUInt IlvAnimator::getPeriod ( ) const

Returns the animation period of the animator.

The animation period is the period between two calls TO the IlvAnimator::animate method.

Returns: The animation period.

See Also: IlvAnimator::setAnimationMode(IlvAnimationMode, IlUInt)

IlUInt IlvAnimator::getState ( ) const

Returns the animator state.

The animator state is a value that represents the state of the animator. The default value is 0.

Returns: The animator state.

See Also: setState, nextState, changeState

virtual IlUInt IlvAnimator::getStatesCount ( ) const

pure virtual

Returns the number of states of the animator.

You must redefine this method in a subclass.

Returns: The number of states of the animator.

See Also: nextState, changeState

Implemented in IlvBitmapAnimator.

virtual void IlvAnimator::initReDraws ( ) const

pure virtual

Called to begin a redraw session.

You must redefine this method in a subclass.

See Also: reDraw, invalidateRegion, reDrawViews

Implemented in IlvGraphicAnimator.

virtual void IlvAnimator::invalidateRegion ( ) const

pure virtual

Called to invalidate the area affected by the animator.

You must redefine this method in a subclass.

See Also: reDraw, initReDraws, reDrawViews

Implemented in IlvGraphicAnimator.

virtual IlBoolean IlvAnimator::isLastState ( IlUInt state ) const

virtual

Returns a Boolean value indicating whether the specified state is the last one.

The default implementation compares state to the result of IlvAnimator::getStatesCount(). You can override this function in your own subclass if you do not know the total number of states that the animator has.

Parameters

state The state.

Returns: A Boolean value indicating whether the state is the last state.

See Also: getStatesCount, nextState, changeState

Reimplemented in IlvBitmapAnimator.

virtual IlUInt IlvAnimator::nextState ( IlUInt state ) const

virtual

Returns the animator state that must be set after a given state.

The default implementation uses the animation mode to increment (IlvAnimationForward) or decrement (IlvAnimationBackward) the state. You may override this method to implement your own state automate.

Parameters

state The animator state.
