Remarks

A key frame animation's target values are defined by its KeyFrames property, which contains a collection of PointKeyFrame objects. Each PointKeyFrame defines a segment of the animation with its own target Value and KeyTime. When the animation runs, it progresses from one key value to the next at the specified key times.

There are several types of PointKeyFrame classes, one for each supported interpolation method: LinearPointKeyFrame, EasingPointKeyFrame, DiscretePointKeyFrame, and SplinePointKeyFrame.

Unlike a PointAnimation, a PointAnimationUsingKeyFrames can have more than two target values. You can also control the interpolation method of individual PointKeyFrame segments.

When declaring a PointAnimationUsingKeyFrames in XAML, the order of the PointKeyFrame object elements is not significant, because the KeyTime controls the timing and therefore the order in which the key frames are executed. However, it is good markup style to keep the element order the same as the KeyTime sequence order.

Examples

The following example moves an ellipse along a triangular path. The example uses the PointAnimationUsingKeyFrames class to animate the Center property of an EllipseGeometry. This animation uses three key frames in the following manner:

  1. During the first half second, it uses an instance of the LinearPointKeyFrame class to move the ellipse along a path at a steady rate from its starting position. Linear key frames such as LinearPointKeyFrame create a smooth linear interpolation between values.

  2. During the end of the next half second, it uses an instance of the DiscretePointKeyFrame class to suddenly move the ellipse along the path to the next position. Discrete key frames like DiscretePointKeyFrame create sudden jumps between values.

  3. During the final two seconds, it uses an instance of the SplinePointKeyFrame class to move the ellipse back to its starting position. Spline key frames like SplinePointKeyFrame create a variable transition between values according to the values of the KeySpline property. In this example, the animation begins slowly and speeds up exponentially toward the end of the time segment.
