Class Details¶

class Clutter.Animation(**kwargs)¶

Bases:: GObject.Object, Clutter.Scriptable
Abstract:: No
Structure:: Clutter.AnimationClass

The Clutter.Animation structure contains only private data and should be accessed using the provided functions.

New in version 1.0.

Deprecated since version 1.12: Use the implicit animation on Clutter.Actor

classmethod new()¶

Returns:: the newly created Clutter.Animation. Use GObject.Object.unref() to release the associated resources
Return type:: Clutter.Animation

Creates a new Clutter.Animation instance. You should set the GObject.Object to be animated using Clutter.Animation.set_object(), set the duration with Clutter.Animation.set_duration() and the easing mode using Clutter.Animation.set_mode().

Use Clutter.Animation.bind() or Clutter.Animation.bind_interval() to define the properties to be animated. The interval and the animated properties can be updated at runtime.

The clutter_actor_animate() and relative family of functions provide an easy way to animate a Clutter.Actor and automatically manage the lifetime of a Clutter.Animation instance, so you should consider using those functions instead of manually creating an animation.

New in version 1.0.

Deprecated since version 1.12: Use Clutter.PropertyTransition instead

bind(property_name, final)¶

Parameters:

property_name (str) – the property to control
final (GObject.Value) – The final value of the property

Returns:

The animation itself.

Return type:

Clutter.Animation

Adds a single property with name property_name to the animation self. For more information about animations, see clutter_actor_animate().

This method returns the animation primarily to make chained calls convenient in language bindings.

New in version 1.0.

Deprecated since version 1.12: Use Clutter.PropertyTransition instead

bind_interval(property_name, interval)¶

Parameters:

property_name (str) – the property to control
interval (Clutter.Interval) – a Clutter.Interval

Returns:

The animation itself.

Return type:

Clutter.Animation

Binds interval to the property_name of the GObject.Object attached to self. The Clutter.Animation will take ownership of the passed Clutter.Interval. For more information about animations, see clutter_actor_animate().

If you need to update the interval instance use Clutter.Animation.update_interval() instead.

New in version 1.0.

Deprecated since version 1.12: Use Clutter.PropertyTransition instead

completed()¶

Emits the ::completed signal on self

When using this function with a Clutter.Animation created by the clutter_actor_animate() family of functions, self will be unreferenced and it will not be valid anymore, unless GObject.Object.ref() was called before calling this function or unless a reference was taken inside a handler for the Clutter.Animation ::completed signal

Deprecated since version 1.12: Use Clutter.PropertyTransition instead

get_interval(property_name)¶

Parameters:: property_name (str) – name of the property

set_alpha(alpha)¶

Parameters:: alpha (Clutter.Alpha) – a Clutter.Alpha, or None to unset the current Clutter.Alpha

Sets alpha as the Clutter.Alpha used by self.

If alpha is not None, the Clutter.Animation will take ownership of the Clutter.Alpha instance.

New in version 1.0.

Deprecated since version 1.10: Use Clutter.Animation.get_timeline() and Clutter.Timeline.set_progress_mode() instead.

set_duration(msecs)¶

Parameters:: msecs (int) – the duration in milliseconds

Sets the duration of self in milliseconds.

This function will set Clutter.Animation :alpha and Clutter.Animation :timeline if needed.

New in version 1.0.

Deprecated since version 1.12: Use Clutter.PropertyTransition instead

set_loop(loop)¶

Parameters:: loop (bool) – True if the animation should loop

Sets whether self should loop over itself once finished.

A looping Clutter.Animation will not emit the Clutter.Animation ::completed signal when finished.

New in version 1.0.

Deprecated since version 1.12: Use Clutter.PropertyTransition instead

set_mode(mode)¶
