<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>A SmoothedAnimation animates a property's value to a set target value using an ease in/out quad easing curve. When the target value changes, the easing curves used to animate between the old and new target values are smoothly spliced together to create a smooth movement to the new target value that maintains the current velocity.</p>
<p>The follow example shows one <a href="qml-rectangle.html">Rectangle</a> tracking the position of another using SmoothedAnimation. The green rectangle's <tt>x</tt> and <tt>y</tt> values are bound to those of the red rectangle. Whenever these values change, the green rectangle smoothly animates to its new position:</p>

<p>A SmoothedAnimation can be configured by setting the <a href="qml-smoothedanimation.html#velocity-prop">velocity</a> at which the animation should occur, or the <a href="qml-smoothedanimation.html#duration-prop">duration</a> that the animation should take. If both the <a href="qml-smoothedanimation.html#velocity-prop">velocity</a> and <a href="qml-smoothedanimation.html#duration-prop">duration</a> are specified, the one that results in the quickest animation is chosen for each change in the target value.</p>
<p>For example, animating from 0 to 800 will take 4 seconds if a velocity of 200 is set, will take 8 seconds with a duration of 8000 set, and will take 4 seconds with both a velocity of 200 and a duration of 8000 set. Animating from 0 to 20000 will take 10 seconds if a velocity of 200 is set, will take 8 seconds with a duration of 8000 set, and will take 8 seconds with both a velocity of 200 and a duration of 8000 set.</p>
<p>The default velocity of SmoothedAnimation is 200 units/second. Note that if the range of the value being animated is small, then the velocity will need to be adjusted appropriately. For example, the opacity of an item ranges from 0 - 1.0. To enable a smooth animation in this range the velocity will need to be set to a value such as 0.5 units/second. Animating from 0 to 1.0 with a velocity of 0.5 will take 2000 ms to complete.</p>
<p>Like any other animation element, a SmoothedAnimation can be applied in a number of ways, including transitions, behaviors and property value sources. The <a href="qdeclarativeanimation.html">QML Animation and Transitions</a> documentation shows a variety of methods for creating animations.</p>
