Gets or sets the rate, relative to its parent, at which time progresses for this Timeline.

public:
 property double SpeedRatio { double get(); void set(double value); };

public double SpeedRatio { get; set; }

member this.SpeedRatio : double with get, set

Public Property SpeedRatio As Double

Property Value

Double

A finite value greater than 0 that describes the rate at which time progresses for this timeline, relative to the speed of the timeline's parent or, if this is a root timeline, the default timeline speed. The default value is 1.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

SpeedRatio is less than 0 or is not a finite value.

Examples

A timeline's SpeedRatio property controls its rate of progress, relative to its parent. If the timeline is a root, its SpeedRatio is relative to the default timeline speed. The following example shows several timelines with different SpeedRatio settings.

<!-- This example shows how to use the SpeedRatio property 
     to make animations speed up or slow down. -->

Remarks

A timeline's SpeedRatio setting does not have an effect on its BeginTime; that time is relative to the timeline's parent or, if the timeline is a root timeline, the moment at which the timeline's clock was begun.

If AccelerationRatio or DecelerationRatio are specified, this SpeedRatio is the average ratio over the natural length of the timeline.
