NAME

Algorithm::Easing - Calculate eased translations between two positive whole integer values over time

SYNOPSIS

## with mediator

use Algorithm::Easing;
use Algorithm::Easing::Mediator;
use Algorithm::Easing::Bounce;

# this example produces traditional 'bounce' output;

my $translation_mediator = Algorithm::Easing::Mediator->new(Algorithm::Easing::Bounce->new);

# total time for eased translation as a real positive integer value
my $d = 2.5;

# begin
my $b = 0;

# change
my $c = 0;

# time passed in seconds as a real positive integer between each frame
my $frame_time = 0.0625;

my @p = [319,0];

for(my $t = 0; $t < 2.5; $t += 0.0625) {
    $p[1] = $translation_mediator->ease_out($t,$b,$c,$d)

    # plot
    ...
}

INTRODUCTION

Commonly used in animation, Penner's easing functions are beautiful translations between two positive whole integer values.

The included easing functions in Algorithm::Easing are :

Exponential
Bounce
Linear
Cubic
Quadratic
Quartinion
Quintonion
Sinusoidal
Backdraft
Circular

For ease of use, there is an included Mediator class. The Mediator class permits the programmer to select from the spread of easing functions through a single class name.

USAGE

Read of a usage example using the proper mediator :

## with mediator

use Algorithm::Easing;
use Algorithm::Easing::Mediator;
use Algorithm::Easing::Bounce;

# this example produces traditional 'bounce' output;

my $translation_mediator = Algorithm::Easing::Mediator->new(Algorithm::Easing::Bounce->new);

# total time for eased translation as a real positive integer value
my $t = 2.5;

# begin
my $b = 0;

# change
my $c = 240;

# time passed in seconds as a real positive integer between each frame
my $frame_time = 0.0625;

my @p = [319,0];

for(my $d = 0; $d < 2.5; $d += 0.0625) {
    $p[1] = $translation_mediator->ease_out($t,$b,$c,$d)

    # plot
    ...;
}

METHODS

ease_none Usage :

Arguments : 
    t = time,
    b = begin,
    c = change,
    d = duration,
Return :
    p = position,
    
my $p = $obj->ease_none($t,$b,$c,$d);

This method is used for a linear translation between two positive real whole integers using a positive real integer as the parameter for time.

ease_in Usage :

Arguments : 
    t = time,
    b = begin,
    c = change,
    d = duration,
Return :
    p = position,
    
my $p = $obj->ease_in($t,$b,$c,$d);

This method is used to ease in between two positive real whole integers as an inward tween using a positive real integer as the parameter for time in the specified fashion.

ease_out Usage :

Arguments : 
    t = time,
    b = begin,
    c = change,
    d = duration,
Return :
    p = position,
    
my $p = $obj->ease_out($t,$b,$c,$d);

This method is used to ease out between two positive real whole integers as an inward tween using a positive real integer as the parameter for time in the specified fashion.

ease_both Usage :

Arguments : 
    t = time,
    b = begin,
    c = change,
    d = duration,
Return :
    p = position,
    
my $p = $obj->ease_both($t,$b,$c,$d);

This method is used to ease both in then out between two positive real whole integers as an inward tween using a positive real integer as the parameter for time in the specified fashion.
