Como especificar se uma linha do tempo é revertida automaticamente

A propriedade de uma linha do tempo determina se ela é reproduzida no sentido inverso depois de AutoReverse concluir uma iteração direta. O exemplo a seguir mostra várias animações com duração e valores de destino idênticos, mas com configurações diferentes AutoReverse . Para demonstrar como a AutoReverse propriedade se comporta com configurações diferentes RepeatBehavior , algumas animações são definidas para repetir. A última animação mostra como a AutoReverse propriedade funciona em linhas do tempo aninhadas.

Exemplo

<!-- AutoReverseExample.xaml
     This example shows how to use the AutoReverse property to make a timeline 
     play backwards at the end of each iteration. 
     Several rectangles are animated by DoubleAnimations with 
     identical durations and target values, but with different
     AutoReverse and RepeatBehavior settings.-->
