Overview

CAPropertyAnimation is an abstract subclass of CAAnimation for creating animations that manipulate the value of layer properties. The property is specified using a key path that is relative to the layer using the animation.

Properties

additive

Determines if the value specified by the animation is added to the current render tree value to produce the new render tree value.

@property(getter=isAdditive) BOOL additive

Discussion

If YES, the value specified by the animation will be added to the current render tree value of the property to produce the new render tree value. The addition function is type-dependent, e.g. for affine transforms the two matrices are concatenated. The default is NO.

Availability

Available in iOS 2.0 and later.

CAAnimation.h

cumulative

Determines if the value of the property is the value at the end of the previous repeat cycle, plus the value of the current repeat cycle.

@property(getter=isCumulative) BOOL cumulative

Discussion

If YES, then the value of the property is the value at the end of the previous repeat cycle, plus the value of the current repeat cycle. If NO, the value of the property is simply the value calculated for the current repeat cycle. The default is NO.

valueFunction

An optional value function that is applied to interpolated values.

@property(retain) *valueFunction

Discussion

If the valueFunction property is not nil, the function is applied to the values interpolated by the animation as they are applied to the presentation layer. Defaults to nil.
