ElasticEase.Springiness Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets or sets the stiffness of the spring. The smaller the Springiness value is, the stiffer the spring and the faster the elasticity decreases in intensity over each oscillation.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Media.Animation
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property Springiness As Double

public double Springiness { get; set; }

<ElasticEase Springiness="double"/>

Property Value

Type: System.Double
A positive number that specifies the stiffness of the spring. The default value is 3.

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: SpringinessProperty

The smaller the Springiness value is, the stiffer the spring and the faster the elasticity decreases in intensity over each oscillation.

The following diagram illustrates the effect of different values of Springiness.

Examples

The following example applies an ElasticEase easing function to a DoubleAnimation to create an animation that resembles a spring oscillating back and forth until it comes to rest.
