LinearDoubleKeyFrame
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
Animates from the Double value of the previous key frame to the Value of the current key frame, by using linear interpolation.
<LinearDoubleKeyFrame .../>
Remarks
A key frame defines a segment of the DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames object to which it belongs. Each key frame has a target Value and a KeyTime. The KeyTime specifies the time at which the key frame's Value should be reached. The animation progresses from the target value of the previous key frame to the target value of the current key frame. The animation starts when the previous key frame ends, and the animation ends when the key time of the current key frame is reached.
Linear key frames, such as LinearDoubleKeyFrame, create a smooth linear interpolation between values.
For more information on basic concepts, see Key-Frame Animations. Note that the Key-Frame Animations topic is written primarily for users of the managed API, and may not have code examples or specific information that address the JavaScript API scenarios.
Example
The following example moves a rectangle across a screen. The example uses the DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames class to animate the X property of a TranslateTransform applied to a Rectangle. This animation, which repeats indefinitely, uses three key frames in the following manner:
During the first three seconds, a LinearDoubleKeyFrame object moves the rectangle along a path at a steady rate from its starting position to the 500 position. Linear key frames, such as LinearDoubleKeyFrame, create a smooth linear transition between values.
At the end of the fourth second, a DiscreteDoubleKeyFrame object suddenly moves the rectangle to the next position. Discrete key frames, such as DiscreteDoubleKeyFrame, create sudden jumps between values. In this example, the rectangle is at the starting position and then suddenly appears at the 500 position.
In the final two seconds, a SplineDoubleKeyFrame object moves the rectangle back to its starting position. Spline key frames, such as SplineDoubleKeyFrame, create a variable transition between values according to the value of the KeySpline property. In this example, the rectangle begins by moving slowly and then speeds up exponentially toward the end of the time segment.
