Morphr

Morphr is a tiny javascript class for morphing numerical values of arbitrary objects in a given time interval dt along a given range dval. Most often you will want to use it for animation.

<h1>Morphr Example</h1>
<canvas id="c" width="401" height="301"></canvas>
<script src='./g2.js'></script>
<script src='./morphr.js'></script>
<script>
// object value handlers ...
function value(obj,prop,dval) {
   var val0 = obj[prop];
   return function(q) { obj[prop] = val0 + q*dval; };
}
// render to canvas via g2 ..
function render() {
   g2().clr()
       .rec(rec.x,rec.y,rec.b,rec.h,{ls:"maroon",lw:2,fs:"transparent",ld:[4,4]})
       .exe(document.getElementById("c").getContext("2d"));
}
var rec = {x:100,y:100,b:20,h:100},               // plain javascript rectangle object ... 
    morphr = Morphr.create(4,0,"sinoid")          // create and configure Morphr object ...
                   .register(value(rec,"x",100))
                   .register(value(rec,"y",50))
                   .register(value(rec,"b",100))
                   .register(value(rec,"h",-75))
                   .register(render)
                   .start();
</script>

API Reference

Morphr is a tiny class for simultaneously morphing numerical object values in a given time interval. Use case is most often parameter animation. Morphr depends on requestAnimationFrame. Do not use new Morphr(). Use Morphr.create() for creating instances.

• Morphr
  • static
    • .create([dt], [t0], [fn]) ⇒ object
  • instance
    • .register(hdl) ⇒ object
    • .start() ⇒ object

Morphr.create([dt], [t0], [fn]) ⇒ object

Create a Morphr instance by start time, duration and timing function for morphing. A couple of predefined timing functions are available [s. VDI2143]:

• linear
• quadratic
• sinoid
• poly5

Kind: static method of Morphr
Returns: object - Morphr instance.

morphr.register(hdl) ⇒ object

Register morphing handler function.

Kind: instance method of Morphr
Returns: object - this.

morphr.start() ⇒ object

Start morphing process.

Kind: instance method of Morphr
Returns: object - this.
