Traditional Curve

Traditional curves are mathematically described curves. A typical representative is the cubic Bezier curve. You define the curve shape with a set of control points, to bring out the expected animation effect, such as ease in and ease out. As aforementioned, a traditional curve is not based on the real-world behavior. This means that it does not change its shape to respond to user behavior, and lacks the natural and engaging feel given by a physics-based curve. When creating animations, prioritize physics-based curves and use traditional curves only in rare cases.

ArkUI provides APIs for traditional curves such as Bezier and step curves. For details, see Interpolation Calculation.

The following is an example of a traditional curve.

class MyCurve {
  public title: string;
  public curve: Curve;
  public color: Color | string;

  constructor(title: string, curve: Curve, color: Color | string = '') {
    this.title = title;
    this.curve = curve;
    this.color = color;
  }
}

const myCurves: MyCurve[] = [
  new MyCurve(' Linear', Curve.Linear, 0x409EFF),
  new MyCurve(' Ease', Curve.Ease, 0x67C23A),
  new MyCurve(' EaseIn', Curve.EaseIn, 0xE6A23C),
  new MyCurve(' EaseOut', Curve.EaseOut, 0xF56C6C),
  new MyCurve(' EaseInOut', Curve.EaseInOut, 0xFFB6C1),
  new MyCurve(' FastOutSlowIn', Curve.FastOutSlowIn, 0xDC143C),
  new MyCurve(' LinearOutSlowIn', Curve.LinearOutSlowIn, 0xFF00FF),
  new MyCurve(' FastOutLinearIn', Curve.FastOutLinearIn, 0x00BFFF),
  new MyCurve(' ExtremeDeceleration', Curve.ExtremeDeceleration, 0x5F9EA0),
  new MyCurve(' Sharp', Curve.Sharp, 0x00FFFF),
  new MyCurve(' Rhythm', Curve.Rhythm, 0x66CDAA),
  new MyCurve(' Smooth', Curve.Smooth, 0x7CFC00),
  new MyCurve(' Friction', Curve.Friction, 0xFFA500)
]
