ExponentialEase Class

Definition

Namespace:

Windows.UI.Xaml.Media.Animation

Represents an easing function that creates an animation that accelerates and/or decelerates using an exponential formula.

Examples

This XAML example applies a ExponentialEase easing function to a DoubleAnimation to create a decelerating animation.

<StackPanel x:Name="LayoutRoot" >
    <StackPanel.Resources>
        <Storyboard x:Name="myStoryboard">
            <DoubleAnimation From="1" To="6" Duration="00:00:3" 
                Storyboard.TargetName="rectScaleTransform" 
                Storyboard.TargetProperty="ScaleY">
                <DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
                    <ExponentialEase Exponent="6" EasingMode="EaseOut"/>
                </DoubleAnimation.EasingFunction>
            </DoubleAnimation>
        </Storyboard>
    </StackPanel.Resources>

    <Rectangle PointerPressed="Pointer_Clicked" 
     Fill="Blue" Width="200" Height="30">
        <Rectangle.RenderTransform>
            <ScaleTransform x:Name="rectScaleTransform" />
        </Rectangle.RenderTransform>
    </Rectangle>

    </StackPanel>

// When the user clicks the rectangle, the animation
// begins. 
private void Pointer_Clicked(object sender, PointerRoutedEventArgs e)
{
    myStoryboard.Begin();
}

' When the user clicks the rectangle, the animation
' begins. 
Private Sub Pointer_Clicked(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PointerRoutedEventArgs)
    myStoryboard.Begin()
End Sub

Remarks

ExponentialEase is an easing function that has a function-over-time formula that uses an Exponent value to shape the function-over-time curve. The value used for Exponent changes the shape of the curve quite a bit. Exponent can be negative, if so the function acts a bit like changing the EasingMode to EaseOut with a positive value. You might want to experiment with different values for Exponent and EasingMode when using this easing function.

An easing function can be applied to the EasingFunction properties of From/To/By animations, or to the EasingFunction properties of key-frame types used for the Easing variants of key-frame animations. For more info, see Key-frame animations and easing function animations.

Constructors

ExponentialEase()

Initializes a new instance of the ExponentialEase class.

Properties

Dispatcher	Gets the CoreDispatcher that this object is associated with. The CoreDispatcher represents a facility that can access the DependencyObject on the UI thread even if the code is initiated by a non-UI thread. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
EasingMode	Gets or sets a value that specifies how the animation interpolates. (Inherited from EasingFunctionBase)
Exponent	Gets or sets the exponent used to determine the interpolation of the animation.
ExponentProperty	Identifies the Exponent  dependency property.

Methods

ClearValue(DependencyProperty)	Clears the local value of a dependency property. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
Ease(Double)	Transforms normalized time to control the pace of an animation. (Inherited from EasingFunctionBase)
GetAnimationBaseValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns any base value established for a dependency property, which would apply in cases where an animation is not active. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
GetValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the current effective value of a dependency property from a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
ReadLocalValue(DependencyProperty)	Returns the local value of a dependency property, if a local value is set. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
RegisterPropertyChangedCallback(DependencyProperty, DependencyPropertyChangedCallback)	Registers a notification function for listening to changes to a specific DependencyProperty on this DependencyObject instance. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
SetValue(DependencyProperty, Object)	Sets the local value of a dependency property on a DependencyObject. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
UnregisterPropertyChangedCallback(DependencyProperty, Int64)	Cancels a change notification that was previously registered by calling RegisterPropertyChangedCallback. (Inherited from DependencyObject)
