Detailed Description¶
Easing curves describe a function that controls how the speed of the interpolation between 0 and 1 should be. Easing curves allow transitions from one value to another to appear more natural than a simple constant speed would allow. The
QEasingCurve
class is usually used in conjunction with theQVariantAnimation
andQPropertyAnimation
classes but can be used on its own. It is usually used to accelerate the interpolation from zero velocity (ease in) or decelerate to zero velocity (ease out). Ease in and ease out can also be combined in the same easing curve.To calculate the speed of the interpolation, the easing curve provides the function
valueForProgress()
, where theprogress
argument specifies the progress of the interpolation: 0 is the start value of the interpolation, 1 is the end value of the interpolation. The returned value is the effective progress of the interpolation. If the returned value is the same as the input value for all input values the easing curve is a linear curve. This is the default behaviour.For example,
QEasingCurve easing(QEasingCurve::InOutQuad); for (qreal t = 0.0; t < 1.0; t += 0.1) qWarning() << "Effective progress" << t << "is" << easing.valueForProgress(t);will print the effective progress of the interpolation between 0 and 1.
When using a
QPropertyAnimation
, the associated easing curve will be used to control the progress of the interpolation between startValue and endValue:QPropertyAnimation animation; animation.setStartValue(0); animation.setEndValue(1000); animation.setDuration(1000); animation.setEasingCurve(QEasingCurve::InOutQuad);The ability to set an amplitude, overshoot, or period depends on the
QEasingCurve
type. Amplitude access is available to curves that behave as springs such as elastic and bounce curves. Changing the amplitude changes the height of the curve. Period access is only available to elastic curves and setting a higher period slows the rate of bounce. Only curves that have “boomerang” behaviors such as theInBack
,OutBack
,InOutBack
, andOutInBack
have overshoot settings. These curves will interpolate beyond the end points and return to the end point, acting similar to a boomerang.The Easing Curves Example contains samples of
QEasingCurve
types and lets you change the curve settings.

QEasingCurve.BezierSpline
Allows defining a custom easing curve using a cubic bezier spline
QEasingCurve.TCBSpline
Allows defining a custom easing curve using a TCB spline
QEasingCurve.Custom
This is returned if the user specified a custom curve type with
setCustomType()
. Note that you cannot callsetType()
with this value, buttype()
can return it.See also
- PySide2.QtCore.QEasingCurve.addCubicBezierSegment(c1, c2, endPoint)¶
- Parameters:
endPoint –
PySide2.QtCore.QPointF
Adds a segment of a cubic bezier spline to define a custom easing curve. It is only applicable if
type()
isBezierSpline
. Note that the spline implicitly starts at (0.0, 0.0) and has to end at (1.0, 1.0) to be a valid easing curve.c1
andc2
are the control points used for drawing the curve.endPoint
is the endpoint of the curve.
- PySide2.QtCore.QEasingCurve.addTCBSegment(nextPoint, t, c, b)¶
- Parameters:
nextPoint –
PySide2.QtCore.QPointF
t – float
c – float
b – float
Adds a segment of a TCB bezier spline to define a custom easing curve. It is only applicable if
type()
isTCBSpline
. The spline has to start explicitly at (0.0, 0.0) and has to end at (1.0, 1.0) to be a valid easing curve. The tensiont
changes the length of the tangent vector. The continuityc
changes the sharpness in change between the tangents. The biasb
changes the direction of the tangent vector.nextPoint
is the sample position. All three parameters are valid between -1 and 1 and define the tangent of the control point. If all three parameters are 0 the resulting spline is a Catmull-Rom spline. The begin and endpoint always have a bias of -1 and 1, since the outer tangent is not defined.
- PySide2.QtCore.QEasingCurve.amplitude()¶
- Return type:
float
Returns the amplitude. This is not applicable for all curve types. It is only applicable for bounce and elastic curves (curves of
type()
InBounce
,OutBounce
,InOutBounce
,OutInBounce
,InElastic
,OutElastic
,InOutElastic
orOutInElastic
).See also
