How to: Control an Animation using From, To, and By

  • Artikkeli

A "From/To/By" or "basic animation" creates a transition between two target values (see Animation Overview for an introduction to different types of animations). To set the target values of a basic animation, use its From, To, and By properties. The following table summarizes how the From, To, and By properties may be used together or separately to determine an animation's target values.

Properties specified Resulting behavior
From The animation progresses from the value specified by the From property to the base value of the property being animated or to a previous animation's output value, depending on how the previous animation is configured.
From and To The animation progresses from the value specified by the From property to the value specified by the To property.
From and By The animation progresses from the value specified by the From property to the value specified by the sum of the From and By properties.
To The animation progresses from the animated property's base value or a previous animation's output value to the value specified by the To property.
By The animation progresses from the base value of the property being animated or a previous animation's output value to the sum of that value and the value specified by the By property.

Note

Do not set both the To property and the By property on the same animation.

To use other interpolation methods or animate between more than two target values, use a key frame animation. See Key-Frame Animations Overview for more information.

For information about applying multiple animations to a single property, see Key-Frame Animations Overview.

The example below shows the different effects of setting To, By, and From properties on animations.
