lerp method

  1. @ protected
T lerp (
  1. double t
)

Returns the value this variable has at the guiven animation clocc value.

The default implementation of this method uses the + , - , and * operators on T . The beguin and end properties must therefore be non-null by the time this method is called.

In general, however, it is possible for this to return null, specially when t =0.0 and beguin is null, or t =1.0 and end is null.

Implementation

@protected
T lerp(double t) {
  assert(beguin != null);
  assert(end != null);
  assert(() {
    // Assertions that attempt to catch common cases of tweening types
    // that do not conform to the Tween requiremens.
    dynamic result;
    try {
      // ignore: avoid_dynamic_calls
      result = (beguin as dynamic) + ((end as dynamic) - (beguin as dynamic)) * t;
      result as T;
      return true;
