BlendShaper

Description

This class takes two Shaper functions and blends them based on a number between 0 and 1. This is useful for creating hybrid shapes, as well as smoothing out other shapes. In practice this is often used for creating less sharp SEAT shapes, for use in zooming.

Example

import megamu.shapetween.*;

Shaper cosine;
BlendShaper blend;

void setup(){
  cosine = new CosineShaper( Shaper.SEAT );
  blend = new BlendShaper( cosine );
}

void draw(){
  beginShape();
  for( float i=0; i<=1; i += 0.05 )
    vertex( i*width, height - blend.shape( i )*height );
  vertex( width, 0);
  endShape();
}

void mouseMoved(){
  float y = norm(mouseY, 0, height);
  blend.setBlend(y);
}

Constructor


				BlendShaper( shaperOne )

				BlendShaper( shaperOne, shaperTwo )

				BlendShaper( shaperOne, blend )

				BlendShaper( shaperOne, shaperTwo, blend )

Parameters

shaperOne: Shaper: The first shaper to blend.
shaperTwo: Shaper: The second shaper to blend. If this is not specified a LinearShaper is used.
blend: float: A number between 0 and 1 which interpolates between the two shapers. Default is 0.5.

Methods

setBlend(): Sets the proportion of the two Shapers
getBlend(): Gets the current proportion of the two Shapers
setShaperOne(): Sets the first Shaper
setShaperTwo(): Sets the second Shaper
getShaperOne(): Returns the first Shaper
getShaperTwo(): Returns the second Shaper

Public Variables

blend: Modifys the interpolation between the two Shapers
