public class PathInterpolator
extends Object implements Interpolator

java.lang.Object
↳	androidx.core.animation.PathInterpolator

---

An interpolator that can traverse a Path that extends from Point (0, 0) to (1, 1). The x coordinate along the Path is the input value and the output is the y coordinate of the line at that point. This means that the Path must conform to a function y = f(x).

The Path must not have gaps in the x direction and must not loop back on itself such that there can be two points sharing the same x coordinate. It is alright to have a disjoint line in the vertical direction:

     Path path = new Path();
     path.lineTo(0.25f, 0.25f);
     path.moveTo(0.25f, 0.5f);
     path.lineTo(1f, 1f);

Public constructors

PathInterpolator

public PathInterpolator (Path path)

Create an interpolator for an arbitrary Path. The Path must begin at (0, 0) and end at (1, 1).

Parameters
path	Path: The Path to use to make the line representing the interpolator.

PathInterpolator

public PathInterpolator (float controlX, 
                float controlY)

Create an interpolator for a quadratic Bezier curve. The end points (0, 0) and (1, 1) are assumed.

Parameters
controlX	float: The x coordinate of the quadratic Bezier control point.
controlY	float: The y coordinate of the quadratic Bezier control point.

PathInterpolator

public PathInterpolator (float controlX1, 
                float controlY1, 
                float controlX2, 
                float controlY2)

Create an interpolator for a cubic Bezier curve. The end points (0, 0) and (1, 1) are assumed.

Parameters
controlX1	float: The x coordinate of the first control point of the cubic Bezier.
controlY1	float: The y coordinate of the first control point of the cubic Bezier.
controlX2	float: The x coordinate of the second control point of the cubic Bezier.
controlY2	float: The y coordinate of the second control point of the cubic Bezier.

PathInterpolator

public PathInterpolator (Context context, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                XmlPullParser parser)

Create an interpolator from XML.

Parameters
context	Context: The context.
attrs	AttributeSet: The AttributeSet for pathInterpolator.
parser	XmlPullParser: The XmlPullParser that was used to create the AttributeSet with Xml.asAttributeSet(XmlPullParser).

PathInterpolator

public PathInterpolator (Resources res, 
                Resources.Theme theme, 
                AttributeSet attrs, 
                XmlPullParser parser)

Create an interpolator from XML.

Parameters
res	Resources: The resources.
theme	Resources.Theme: The theme.
attrs	AttributeSet: The AttributeSet for pathInterpolator.
parser	XmlPullParser: The XmlPullParser that was used to create the AttributeSet with Xml.asAttributeSet(XmlPullParser).

Public methods

getInterpolation

public float getInterpolation (float t)

Using the line in the Path in this interpolator that can be described as y = f(x), finds the y coordinate of the line given t as the x coordinate. Values less than 0 will always return 0 and values greater than 1 will always return 1.

Parameters
t	float: Treated as the x coordinate along the line. Value is between 0.0 and 1.0 inclusive.

Returns
float	The y coordinate of the Path along the line where x = t.
