timeline_rs

This is a simple timeline library for Rust. It is designed to be used in a game engine, but can be used for any purpose.

This work is heavily inspired by ofxTimeline (my fork) of YCAMInterlab, and intended to use data created by ofxTimeline and loaf_timeline (lua/oF scripting environment using ofxTimeline).

Examples

Easing Tester

$ cargo run --example easing_tester --features bevy_example

use timeline_rs::easing;

fn easing_functions_list() -> Vec<(&'static str, easing::EasingFunction)> {
    vec![
        ("Linear", easing::EasingFunction::Linear),
        ("Sine", easing::EasingFunction::Sine),
        ("Circular", easing::EasingFunction::Circular),
        ("Quadratic", easing::EasingFunction::Quadratic),
        ("Cubic", easing::EasingFunction::Cubic),
        ("Quartic", easing::EasingFunction::Quartic),
        ("Quintic", easing::EasingFunction::Quintic),
        ("Exponential", easing::EasingFunction::Exponential),
        ("Back", easing::EasingFunction::Back),
        ("Bounce", easing::EasingFunction::Bounce),
        ("Elastic", easing::EasingFunction::Elastic),
    ]
}

fn easing_type_list() -> Vec<(&'static str, easing::EasingType)> {
    vec![
        ("In", easing::EasingType::In),
        ("Out", easing::EasingType::Out),
        ("InOut", easing::EasingType::InOut),
    ]
}

/// ...

let v: f32 = easing::easing(
    t, // f32: time
    0.0, // output min value
    1.0, // output diff value = (max - min)
    duration, // f32
    easing_function, // for example: easing::EasingFunction::Sine
    easing_type, // for example: easing::EasingType::Out
);

Timeline Simple

$ cargo run --example timeline_simple --features bevy_example

let mut tl = Timeline::new();

let mut tx = Track::<f32>::default();
tx
    .add_keyframe(Keyframe {
        time: s(0.0),
        value: 0.0,
        easing_function: EasingFunction::Quintic,
        easing_type: EasingType::In,
    })
    .add_keyframe(Keyframe {
        time: s(1.0),
        value: 0.5,
        easing_function: EasingFunction::Bounce,
        easing_type: EasingType::Out,
    })
    .add_keyframe(Keyframe {
        time: s(2.0),
        value: 1.0,
        easing_function: EasingFunction::Linear,
        easing_type: EasingType::In,
    });

tl.add("x", tx);

/// ...

let x: f32 = tl.get_value("x", Duration::from_secs_f32(data.t)).into();

Timeline From XML

$ cargo run --example timeline_from_xml --features bevy_example

let mut tl = Timeline::new();

let xml_x = r#"
    <keyframes>
    <key>
        <easefunc>0</easefunc>
        <easetype>0</easetype>
        <time>00:00:00:524</time>
        <value>0.375000000</value>
    </key>
    <key>
        <easefunc>4</easefunc>
        <easetype>0</easetype>
        <time>00:00:02:123</time>
        <value>0.330175757</value>
    </key>
    </keyframes>
    "#;

tl.load_xml_str::<f32>("x", xml_x).unwrap();

/// ...

let x: f32 = tl.get_value("x", Duration::from_secs_f32(data.t)).into();

✍️ NOTE: You can also parse JSON using tl.load_json_str, and also directly from file (load_xml, load_json.)
