LibFx-1.1

Animations! And these actually work ... unlike Blizz' ones

Core API

FxObject = LibFx.New(FxTable)

Creates a new fx-object

• FxTable = table holding options

LibFx:RegisterAnimation(name, func, startFunc)

Registers a new animation for use within LibFx

• name = Name of animation
• get = Function for getting the initial value
• set = Function for setting the value the statusbar texture (default "ADD")

LibFx:RegisterRamp(name, func)

Registers a new ramp for use within LibFx

• name = Name of ramp
• func = Function which returns the value to use

FxTable / FxObject options

• anim: String or table which holds the animation
• ramp: String or table how the animation should progress (default: Linear)
• frame: The frame which should be animated
• delay: time in seconds before the animation should start (default: 0)
• loop: Start the animation again after it stopped (default: nil)
• onStart: Optional function which is called on startup with func(frame, fxObject)
• onComplete: Optional function which is called on stop with func(frame, fxObject)

FxObject functions

fx:Start()

Starts the animation

fx:Stop()

Stops the animation

fx:IsRunning()

Returns whether the animation is running

Default animations

• Alpha: Fade the frame to the value of fxTable.finish
• Scale: Scale the frame to the value of fxTable.finish
• Height: Set the frame's height to the value of fxTable.finish
• Width: Set the frame's width to the value of fxTable.finish
• Rotate: Rotate the frame by the value of fxTable.rad (radians) or fxTable.deg (degrees)
• Translate: Move the frame by fxTable.xOffset and fxTable.yOffset
• VertexColor: Change the color of the texture to fxTable.r, fxTable.g, fxTable.b

Default ramps

• Linear: A linear curve
• Smooth: A logistic curve

Example

local LFX = LibStub("LibFx-1.1")
local fadeFrame = LFX.New{
	frame = MyFrame,
	anim = "Alpha",
	ramp = "Smooth",
	finish = 0,
	duration = 0.3,
}

Fades out MyFrame in 0.3 seconds by using a logistic / smooth curve.
