Animate a 3D transform Animates relative transforms over time with easing. The jit.anim.drive object works in conjunction with jit.anim.node and OpenGL objects to perform this function. Double clicking the object will open a ui mapping dictionary, allowing certain user interface actions to be mapped to animation messages. Cycling '74 Jitter messages in TEXT_HERE messages in TEXT_HERE messages to anim.node objects TEXT_HERE dumpout TEXT_HERE Output messages if animating Causes the animation messages to be output, if currently animating. Disable all animations TEXT_HERE Mouse events TEXT_HERE Dictionary input to set the ui mapping The incoming dictionary is cloned and used to set the ui mapping. Scale along axis Scale the attached object along each axis by the amount provided. The axis arguments are multiplied by speed. Move along axis Move the attached object along the axis provided, relative to the space indicated by the objects's movemode attribute. The axis arguments are multiplied by speed. Move to a position over a specified time Move the attached object to the specified position over the specified length of time (in seconds). Easing in and out is applied to the movement based on the easefunc attribute. Scale over a specified time Scale the attached object to the specified scale value over the specified length of time (in seconds). Easing in and out is applied to the scaling based on the easefunc attribute. Move to a position using mass-spring simulation Move the attached object to the specified position using a mass-spring simulation. Rotate over a specified time Rotate the attached object to the specified quaternion orientation over the specified length of time (in seconds). Easing in and out is applied to the rotation based on the easefunc attribute. See the dictionary listing TEXT_HERE Send the specified key Send the specified key. If the key is in the ui mapping dictionary, the corresponding animation will be enabled. Send the specified keyup Send the specified keyup. If the key is in the ui mapping dictionary, the corresponding animation will be disabled. Send the mouse event Send the mouse event. If the event is in the ui mapping dictionary, the corresponding animation will be enabled. See the bang listing TEXT_HERE Rotate along axis Rotate the attached object along each axis by the amount provided, relative to the space indicated by the turnmode attribute. The axis arguments are multiplied by speed. Currently animating Indicates if the object is currently animating. Automatic updates Enables automatic update messages (default = 1). Requires the targetname object to belong to a valid OpenGL context. Assign to named drawing context. Assign to the named drawing context, allowing for updates to be received automatically. Ease time Set both easein and easeout attributes (default = 1.). Easing mode Determines how the easing is applied (default = linear). TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE TEXT_HERE Ease-in time Determines how long it will take (in seconds) for a specific animation message to go from it's current value to the new value (default = 1.). This attribute only affects the move, turn and grow animations. Ease-out time Determines how long it will take (in seconds) for a specific animation message to go from it's current value to 0 (default = 1.). This attribute only affects the move, turn and grow animations. Enable/disable evaluation parameter reporting Enable/disable the evaluation parameter reporting out the dumpout (default = 0). The report is a 3 element list where each element represents the current evaluation parameters for the moveto, rotateto, and scaleto messages, in that order. Instance name Specifies the name of the instance (default = UID). Current position The current stored position in 3D space. This attribute is used for the moveto and springto messages (default = 0 0 0). Current orientation The current orientation in 3D space, stored as a quaternion value. This attribute is used for the rotateto message (default = 0 0 0 1). Current scale The current stored scale in 3D space. This attribute is used for the scaleto message (default = 1 1 1). Animation speed The speed of animations in units per second. (default = 30.) Spring dampening The dampening amount applied to the spring equation used in the springto message (default = 0.1). Spring mass The mass amount applied to the spring equation used in the springto message (default = 1.). Spring stiffness The stiffness amount applied to the spring equation used in the springto message (default = 0.2). Spring simulation threshold The threshold value to determine when the spring simulation is no longer active. Used in the springto message (default = 0.0001). Name of target object The name of the target object that should be either an OpenGL object, or a jit.anim.node object. Enable UI message receiving Cause UI mouse and keyboard messages to be received from context window (default = 0). Requires the targetname object to belong to a valid OpenGL context. UI mapping dictionary name Name associated with the ui mapping dictionary (default = UID). If an existing dictionary is registered to that name, this dictionary will reference the registered dictionary. Dictionary to clone for UI map The name of a registered dictionary to clone as the UI mapping dictionary. UI priority value UI priority value (default = 900). When multiple UI objects are listening to the same window, ui_priority determines the order objects receive input. Lower values test first. UI mapping of key and mouse input is facilitated by editing the ui-map dictionary. Key input is mapped alpha-numeric keys and arrow keys (using up, down, left and right instead of the key symbol). Mouse mapping looks for the following dictionary entries:
Horizontal: mouse_horizontal, mouse_h, mouse_x
Horizontal with button down: mouse_down_horizontal, mouse_down_h, mouse_down_x
Vertical: mouse_vertical, mouse_v, mouse_y
Vertical with button down: mouse_down_vertical, mouse_down_v, mouse_down_y
UI input can be mapped to move, turn and grow messages.
