Detailed Description

This class represents a bexier curve that implements an easing function.

The object itself stores the bezier curve, which cannot be manipulated after creation (for thread safety). The bezier curve is defined as a cubic polynomial that maps a paramter t onto the xy plane.

The method getEvaluator() returns a function pointer that can be used to interpolate the function over time (e.g. for tweening support). The function retains a shared pointer to the object, so the object reference can be safely discarded after getting the function pointer.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

EasingBezier()

cugl::EasingBezier::EasingBezier

(

)

Creates an uninitialized easing function.

NEVER USE A CONSTRUCTOR WITH NEW. If you want to allocate an object on the heap, use one of the static constructors instead.

~EasingBezier()

cugl::EasingBezier::~EasingBezier ( )

inline

Deletes this easing function, disposing all resources

Member Function Documentation

alloc() [1/4]

static std::shared_ptr< EasingBezier > cugl::EasingBezier::alloc ( )

inlinestatic

Returns a newly allocated linear easing function

Returns

a newly allocated linear easing function

alloc() [2/4]

static std::shared_ptr< EasingBezier > cugl::EasingBezier::alloc ( const Vec2  p1, const Vec2  p2  )

inlinestatic

Returns a newly allocated easing function eith the given control points.

Any cubic bezier can be defined by a two control points in the plane, which define the tanget lines of the two endpoints. These are often manifested as handles in programs like Adobe Illustrator.

Parameters

p1	The first handle.
p2	The second handle.

Returns

a newly allocated easing function eith the given control points.

alloc() [3/4]

static std::shared_ptr< EasingBezier > cugl::EasingBezier::alloc ( EasingFactory::Type  type )

inlinestatic

Returns a newly allocated easing function of the given type.

Bezier easing functions can duplicate every easing function in EasingFunction except for the bounce and elastic functions.

Parameters

type	The easing function type

Returns

a newly allocated easing function of the given type.

alloc() [4/4]

static std::shared_ptr< EasingBezier > cugl::EasingBezier::alloc ( float  x1, float  y1, float  x2, float  y2  )

inlinestatic

Returns a newly allocated easing function eith the given control points.

Any cubic bezier can be defined by a two control points in the plane, which define the tanget lines of the two endpoints. These are often manifested as handles in programs like Adobe Illustrator.

Parameters

x1	The x-coordinate of the first handle.
y1	The y-coordinate of the first handle.
x2	The x-coordinate of the second handle.
y2	The y-coordinate of the second handle.

Returns

a newly allocated easing function eith the given control points.

dispose()

void cugl::EasingBezier::dispose

(

)

Disposes all of the resources used by this easing function.

A disposed function can be safely reinitialized.

evaluate()

float cugl::EasingBezier::evaluate

(

float

t

)

Returns the value of the easing function at t.

The easing function is only well-defined when 0 <= t <= 1.

Returns

the value of the easing function at t.

getEvaluator()

EasingFunction cugl::EasingBezier::getEvaluator

(

)

Returns a pointer to the function represented by this object.

The function retains a shared pointer to the object, so the object reference can be safely discarded after getting the function pointer.

Returns

a pointer to the function represented by this object.

init() [1/4]

bool cugl::EasingBezier::init ( )

inline

Initializes a linear easing function

Returns

true if initialization was successful.

init() [2/4]

bool cugl::EasingBezier::init ( const Vec2  p1, const Vec2  p2  )

inline

Any cubic bezier can be defined by a two control points in the plane, which define the tanget lines of the two endpoints. These are often manifested as handles in programs like Adobe Illustrator.

Parameters

p1	The first handle.
p2	The second handle.

Returns

true if initialization was successful.

init() [3/4]

bool cugl::EasingBezier::init

(

EasingFactory::Type

type

)

Initializes an easing function of the given type.

Bezier easing functions can duplicate every easing function in EasingFunction except for the bounce and elastic functions.

Parameters

type	The easing function type
