<!-- $$$QTimeLine-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QTimeLine class provides a timeline for controlling animations.</p>
<p>It's most commonly used to animate a GUI control by calling a slot periodically. You can construct a timeline by passing its duration in milliseconds to QTimeLine's constructor. The timeline's duration describes for how long the animation will run. Then you set a suitable frame range by calling <a href="qtimeline.html#setFrameRange">setFrameRange</a>(). Finally connect the <a href="qtimeline.html#frameChanged">frameChanged</a>() signal to a suitable slot in the widget you wish to animate (e.g., setValue() in <a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a>). When you proceed to calling <a href="qtimeline.html#start">start</a>(), QTimeLine will enter Running state, and start emitting <a href="qtimeline.html#frameChanged">frameChanged</a>() at regular intervals, causing your widget's connected property's value to grow from the lower end to the upper and of your frame range, at a steady rate. You can specify the update interval by calling <a href="qtimeline.html#updateInterval-prop">setUpdateInterval</a>(). When done, QTimeLine enters <a href="qtimeline.html#State-enum">NotRunning</a> state, and emits <a href="qtimeline.html#finished">finished</a>().</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>
progressBar <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qprogressbar.html">QProgressBar</a></span>(<span class="keyword">this</span>);
progressBar<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>setRange(<span class="number">0</span><span class="operator">,</span> <span class="number">100</span>);

<a href="qobject.html#connect">connect</a>(timeLine<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(frameChanged(<span class="type">int</span>))<span class="operator">,</span> progressBar<span class="operator">,</span> SLOT(setValue(<span class="type">int</span>)));
<span class="comment">// Clicking the push button will start the progress bar animation</span>
pushButton <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a></span>(tr(<span class="string">"Start animation"</span>)<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span>);
<a href="qobject.html#connect">connect</a>(pushButton<span class="operator">,</span> SIGNAL(clicked())<span class="operator">,</span> timeLine<span class="operator">,</span> SLOT(start()));
<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span></pre>
<p>You can also use QTimeLine with the <a href="graphicsview.html#graphics-view">Graphics View framework</a> for animations. The <a href="qgraphicsitemanimation.html">QGraphicsItemAnimation</a> class implements animation of <a href="qgraphicsitem.html">QGraphicsItems</a> with a timeline.</p>
<p>By default the timeline runs once, from the beginning and towards the end, upon which you must call <a href="qtimeline.html#start">start</a>() again to restart from the beginning. To make the timeline loop, you can call <a href="qtimeline.html#loopCount-prop">setLoopCount</a>(), passing the number of times the timeline should run before finishing. The direction can also be changed, causing the timeline to run backward, by calling <a href="qtimeline.html#direction-prop">setDirection</a>(). You can also pause and unpause the timeline while it's running by calling <a href="qtimeline.html#setPaused">setPaused</a>(). For interactive control, the <a href="qtimeline.html#currentTime-prop">setCurrentTime</a>() function is provided, which sets the time position of the time line directly. Although most useful in <a href="qtimeline.html#State-enum">NotRunning</a> state, (e.g., connected to a <a href="qtimeline.html#valueChanged">valueChanged</a>() signal in a <a href="qslider.html">QSlider</a>,) this function can be called at any time.</p>
<p>The frame interface is useful for standard widgets, but QTimeLine can be used to control any type of animation. The heart of QTimeLine lies in the <a href="qtimeline.html#valueForTime">valueForTime</a>() function, which generates a <i>value</i> between 0 and 1 for a given time. This value is typically used to describe the steps of an animation, where 0 is the first step of an animation, and 1 is the last step. When running, QTimeLine generates values between 0 and 1 by calling <a href="qtimeline.html#valueForTime">valueForTime</a>() and emitting <a href="qtimeline.html#valueChanged">valueChanged</a>(). By default, <a href="qtimeline.html#valueForTime">valueForTime</a>() applies an interpolation algorithm to generate these value. You can choose from a set of predefined timeline algorithms by calling <a href="qtimeline.html#curveShape-prop">setCurveShape</a>().</p>
<p>Note that by default, QTimeLine uses the EaseInOut curve shape, which provides a value that grows slowly, then grows steadily, and finally grows slowly. For a custom timeline, you can reimplement <a href="qtimeline.html#valueForTime">valueForTime</a>(), in which case QTimeLine's <a href="qtimeline.html#curveShape-prop">curveShape</a> property is ignored.</p>

<p>When <a href="qtimeline.html">QTimeLine</a> is in Running state, this value is updated continuously as a function of the duration and direction of the timeline. Otherwise, it is value that was current when <a href="qtimeline.html#stop">stop</a>() was called last, or the value set by setCurrentTime().</p>

<p>This property holds the direction of the timeline when QTimeLine is in Running state.</p>
<p>This direction indicates whether the time moves from 0 towards the timeline duration, or from the value of the duration and towards 0 after <a href="qtimeline.html#start">start</a>() has been called.</p>

<p>This property holds the total duration of the timeline in milliseconds.</p>
<p>By default, this value is 1000 (i.e., 1 second), but you can change this by either passing a duration to <a href="qtimeline.html">QTimeLine</a>'s constructor, or by calling setDuration(). The duration must be larger than 0.</p>
