QueScript / Reference / <anim>/<keys>

<keys timing="rel|abs">

Simple Example

    <anim name="simpleRamp" duration="5s" fadeout="2s">
        <keys>0.8</keys>
        <track name="t1" fadeto="2.">0. {expr} 1.</track>
        <send>/address ramp {t1}</send>
    </anim>
    <wait anim="simpleRamp"/>

Attributes

  • timing = if timing="rel", the content-values are interpreted as normalized times (between 0. and 1.).

Parent Cmd

< anim >

Content

A list of numbers that define different key-times during the animation.

    <keys timing="rel">0.2</keys>
    <track name="t1">0 5. 10.</track>

in the above example <track> defines three key values:

  • 0.
  • 5.
  • 10.

if the <track> command has three values (n) specified, the <keys> command needs 1 (n-2) value(s), because the first and the last values are set:

value = 0. -> time = 0. (beginning of the animation)
value = 5. -> time = set by <keys> (i.e. 0.2)
value = 10. -> time = 1. (end of the animation)

if the duration of the <anim> was set to '10s' and the key command looks like : 

    <keys timing="rel">0.2</keys>

then the equivalent values for timing="abs" would look like this: 

    <keys timing="abs">2s</keys>

if you put an absolute time where quescript expects a relative time, you will get errormessages.

Explained

<keys> is the way to get timing control on the 'in-between' track values.
