Global Parameters

here is a list of all global parameters of an EasyEase object:

intensity

The intensity variable determines the curve-bending factor of Exponential, Back and Circular easing methods.

By default it is set to 1.0.

Custom values can be can be assigned

• statically, during object initialization using the constructor #2 or #3 or

• dynamically using the .setIntensity method

Tip

The input parameter can be any float value; ideal inputs might be between >1 and 20sh.. to obtain a reasonable output;

it applies: the higher the value, the sharper the curve

• passing 0.0 will return 0.5 (in a range from 0 to 1) for Exponential easing and Circular easing, or a gently shaped curve with no Back-bending for Back easing

• passing 1.0 will return a flat curve (in a range from 0 to 1)for Exponential easing and Circular easing, or a curve with a light Back-bending for Back easing

• passing a negative value (< 0) might return unexpected although interesting outputs

totalLength

The totalLength variable determines the lenght of the easing curve, in other words: how many seconds should a motion cycle last.

By default it is set to 1.0 second.

Custom values can be can be assigned

• statically, during object initialization using the constructor #3 or

• dynamically using the .setTotalLength method

setTotalLength.pde

span

The span variable determines the length of the curve bending time, in other words: how many seconds should a motion last.

By default it is set to 1 second, although it can be shortened and/or be combined with the delay parameter

Custom values can be can be assigned

• statically, during object initialization using the constructor #3 or

• dynamically using the .setSpan method

Info

assigning a value lower than or equal to 0 is not allowed; it will return a WARNING message to the console and automatically set the span to the least allowed value which is totalLength / frameRate_

assigning a value higher than totalLength parameter is not allowed; it will return a WARNING message to the console and will automatically set the same value as for the totalLength

setSpan.pde

delay

The delay variable determines the waiting time before the curve start bending, in other words: how many seconds before the motion starts

By default it is set to 0 second, so there is no delay although it can be customized and/or be combined with the span parameter

Custom values can be can be passed

• statically, during object initialization using the constructor #3 or

• dynamically using the .setDelay method

Info

assigning a value higher than totalLength parameter is not allowed and will return a ERROR message to the console

setDelay.pde

frameRate_

The frameRate_ variable specifies the amount of frames per second a motion cycle should be divided to.
By default it is set at 60 fps like the default sketch's framerate

Custom values can be can be assigned

• statically, during object initialization using the constructor #3 or

• dynamically using the .seFrameRate method

Info

When setting a custom frameRate_ for the EasyEase object, please ensure to set the sketch's frameRate accordingly, in order to avoid synchronization errors.
