PathInterpolator

open class PathInterpolator : Interpolator
kotlin.Any
   ↳ androidx.core.animation.PathInterpolator

An interpolator that can traverse a Path that extends from Point(0, 0) to (1, 1). The x coordinate along the Path is the input value and the output is the y coordinate of the line at that point. This means that the Path must conform to a function y = f(x).

The Path must not have gaps in the x direction and must not loop back on itself such that there can be two points sharing the same x coordinate. It is alright to have a disjoint line in the vertical direction:

Path path = new Path();
      path.lineTo(0.25f, 0.25f);
      path.moveTo(0.25f, 0.5f);
      path.lineTo(1f, 1f);

Summary

Public constructors
<init>(@NonNull path: Path)

Create an interpolator for an arbitrary Path.
<init>(controlX: Float, controlY: Float)

Create an interpolator for a quadratic Bezier curve.
<init>(controlX1: Float, controlY1: Float, controlX2: Float, controlY2: Float)

Create an interpolator for a cubic Bezier curve.
<init>(@NonNull context: Context, @Nullable attrs: AttributeSet?, @NonNull parser: XmlPullParser)

Create an interpolator from XML.
<init>(@NonNull res: Resources, @Nullable theme: Theme?, @Nullable attrs: AttributeSet?, @NonNull parser: XmlPullParser)

Create an interpolator from XML.
Public methods
open Float
getInterpolation(@FloatRange(0, 1) t: Float)

Using the line in the Path in this interpolator that can be described as y = f(x), finds the y coordinate of the line given t as the x coordinate.

Public constructors

<init>

PathInterpolator(@NonNull path: Path)

Create an interpolator for an arbitrary Path. The Path must begin at (0, 0) and end at (1, 1).

Parameters
path Path: The Path to use to make the line representing the interpolator.

<init>

PathInterpolator(
    controlX: Float, 
    controlY: Float)

Create an interpolator for a quadratic Bezier curve. The end points (0, 0) and (1, 1) are assumed.

Parameters
controlX Float: The x coordinate of the quadratic Bezier control point.
controlY Float: The y coordinate of the quadratic Bezier control point.

<init>

PathInterpolator(
    controlX1: Float, 
    controlY1: Float, 
    controlX2: Float, 
    controlY2: Float)

Create an interpolator for a cubic Bezier curve. The end points (0, 0) and (1, 1) are assumed.

Parameters
controlX1 Float: The x coordinate of the first control point of the cubic Bezier.
controlY1 Float: The y coordinate of the first control point of the cubic Bezier.
controlX2 Float: The x coordinate of the second control point of the cubic Bezier.
controlY2 Float: The y coordinate of the second control point of the cubic Bezier.

<init>

PathInterpolator(
    @NonNull context: Context, 
    @Nullable attrs: AttributeSet?,
