Class KeyValue

java.lang.Object
javafx.animation.KeyValue

public final class KeyValue
extends Object
Defines a key value to be interpolated for a particular interval along the animation. A KeyFrame, which defines a specific point on a timeline, can hold multiple KeyValues. KeyValue is an immutable class.

A KeyValue is defined by a target, which is an implementation of WritableValue, an end value and an Interpolator.

Most interpolators define the interpolation between two KeyFrames. (The only exception are tangent-interpolators.) The KeyValue of the second KeyFrame (in forward direction) specifies the interpolator to be used in the interval.

Tangent-interpolators define the interpolation to the left and to the right of a KeyFrame (see Interpolator.TANGENT).

By default, Interpolator.LINEAR is used in the interval.

    • getTarget

      public WritableValue<?> getTarget()
      Returns the target of this KeyValue
      Returns:
      the target
    • getEndValue

      public Object getEndValue()
      Returns the end value of this KeyValue
      Returns:
      the end value
    • getInterpolator

      public Interpolator getInterpolator()
      Interpolator to be used for calculating the key value along the particular interval. By default, Interpolator.LINEAR is used.
      Returns:
      the interpolator to be used for calculating the key value along the particular interval
    • toString

      public String toString()
      Returns a string representation of this KeyValue object.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      the string representation
    • hashCode

      public int hashCode()
      Returns a hash code for this KeyValue object.
      Overrides:
      hashCode in class Object
      Returns:
      the hash code
    • equals

      public boolean equals​(Object obj)
      Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. Two KeyValues are considered equal, if their target, endValue, and interpolator are equal.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Object
