PhysicsMotion

public class PhysicsMotion: Moveable, Additive, TempoDriven, PropertyDataDelegate

PhysicsMotion handles a single motion operation on one or more properties, using a physics system to update values with decaying velocity.

Public Properties

  • The delay, in seconds, before a motion operation begins.

    Warning

    Setting this parameter after a motion operation has begun has no effect.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var delay: TimeInterval = 0.0

  • A Boolean which determines whether a motion operation should repeat. When set to true, the motion operation repeats for the number of times specified by the repeatCycles property. The default value is false.

    Note

    By design, setting this value to true without changing the repeatCycles property from its default value will cause the motion to repeat infinitely.

    Seealso

    repeatCycles

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var repeating: Bool = false

  • The number of motion cycle operations to repeat.

    Remark

    This property is only used when repeating is set to true. Assigning REPEAT_INFINITE to this property signals an infinite amount of motion cycle repetitions. The default value is REPEAT_INFINITE.

    Seealso

    repeating

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var repeatCycles: UInt = REPEAT_INFINITE

  • An object conforming to the ValueAssistant protocol which acts as an interface for retrieving and updating value types.

    Remark

    By default, PhysicsMotion will assign an instance of the ValueAssistantGroup class with value assistants for Core Foundation structs and UIKit colors. You may add your own custom type assistants to this group, or replace it with your own custom ValueAssistant implementation.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var valueAssistant: ValueAssistant = ValueAssistantGroup(assistants: [CGStructAssistant()])

Additive protocol properties

  • A Boolean which determines whether this Motion should change its object values additively. Additive animation allows multiple motions to produce a compound effect, creating smooth transitions and blends between different ending value targets. Additive animation is the default behavior for UIKit animations as of iOS 8 and is great for making user interface animations fluid and responsive. MotionMachine uses its own implementation of additive movement, so you can use additive motions on any supported object properties.

    By default, each PhysicsMotion will apply a strong influence on the movement of a property towards its ending value. This means that two Motion objects with the same duration and moving the same object property to different ending values will fight, and the winning value will be the last Motion to start its movement. If the durations or starting times are different, a transition between the values will occur. If you wish to create additive motions that apply weighted value updates, you can adjust the additiveWeighting property. Setting values to that property that are less than 1.0 will create compound additive motions that are blends of each Motion object’s ending values.

    Remark

    The start value of PropertyData objects are ignored for additive animations, and will instead combine with the current value of the properties being moved.

    Warning

    Please be aware that because of the composite nature of additive movements, values can temporarily move past a PropertyData‘s specified end value. This can have unintended consequences if the property value you are moving is clamped to a limited range. Also note that additive movements may not work well with compound motions that are comprised of sequences, reversing, or repeating, and will not behave correctly when other Motion objects moving the same properties are not using the additive mode. Because of these caveats, the default value is false.

    Seealso

    additiveWeighting

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var additive: Bool

  • A weighting between 0.0 and 1.0 which is applied to this PhysicsMotion’s object value updates when it is using an additive movement. The higher the weighting amount, the more its additive updates apply to the properties being moved. A value of 1.0 will mean the motion will reach the specific end value of each PropertyData being moved, while a value of 0.0 will not move towards the end value at all. When multiple PhysicsMotions in additive mode are moving the same object properties, adjusting this weighting on each PhysicsMotion can create complex composite motions.

    Note

    This value only has an effect when additive is set to true. The default value is 1.0.

    Seealso

    additive

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var additiveWeighting: Double = 1.0

  • An operation ID is assigned to a PhysicsMotion instance when it is moving an object’s property (via initWithObject…) and its motion operation is currently in progress. (read-only)

    Remark

    This value returns 0 if no ID is currently assigned.

    Declaration

    Swift

    private(set) public var operationID: UInt = 0

Physics properties

  • An object conforming to the PhysicsSolving protocol which solves position calculation updates.

    Remark

    By default, PhysicsMotion will assign an instance of PhysicsSystem to this property, but you can override this with your own custom physics system.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var physicsSystem: PhysicsSolving

  • The current velocity used by the physics system to calculate motion values, measured in units per second.

    Remark

    If you wish to change the velocity after initially setting it via one of the init methods, use this setter. If you change the velocity directly on the physicsSystem object, the motionProgress property won’t be accurate.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var velocity: Double

  • The current friction coefficient used by the physics system.

    Remark

    A value range between 0.0 and 1.0, with 1.0 representing very high friction and 0.0 representing almost no friction (setting this property to 0.0 will actually set it a bit fractionally higher than 0.0 to avoid divide-by-zero errors during calculations).

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var friction: Double = 0.0

  • This value is used to determine whether the object modeled by the physics system has come to rest due to deceleration.

    Remark

    The way in which PhysicsSystem applies friction means that as velocity approaches 0.0, it will be assigned smaller and smaller fractional numbers, so we need a reasonable cutoff that approximates the velocity coming to rest. The default value is the constant DEFAULT_DECAY_LIMIT (set to 0.96), which is fine for display properties, but you may prefer other values.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var velocityDecayLimit: Double = PhysicsMotion.DEFAULT_DECAY_LIMIT

  • Specifies a time step for the physics solver, which is updated independently of motion value updates. The default value calls the physics system 120 times a second, which provides double the precision if your app is rendering at 60 fps.

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var physicsTimerInterval: TimeInterval = 1.0 / 120.0; // call the physics system at 120 fps

Property collection methods

  • The collection of PropertyData instances, representing the object’s properties being moved.

    Remark

    The path property of each PropertyData must be a valid KVC-compliant keyPath of targetObject.

    Seealso

    targetObject

    Declaration

    Swift

    private(set) public var properties: [PropertyData] = []

Motion state properties

  • The target object whose property should be moved.

    Declaration

    Swift

    private(set) public var targetObject: NSObject?

  • A MotionState enum which represents the current movement state of the motion operation. (read-only)

    Declaration

    Swift

    private(set) public var motionState: MotionState

  • A MotionDirection enum which represents the current direction of the motion operation. (read-only)

    Declaration

    Swift

    private(set) public var motionDirection: MotionDirection

  • A value between 0.0 and 1.0, which represents the current progress of a movement between two value destinations. (read-only)

    Remark

    Be aware that if this motion is reversing or repeating, this value will only represent one movement. For instance, if a PhysicsMotion has been set to repeat once, this value will move from 0.0 to 1.0, then reset to 0.0 again as the new repeat cycle starts. Similarly, if a PhysicsMotion is set to reverse, this progress will represent each movement; first in the forward direction, then again when reversing back to the starting values.

    Declaration

    Swift

    private(set) public var motionProgress: Double

  • A value between 0.0 and 1.0, which represents the current progress of a motion cycle. (read-only)

    Remark

    A cycle represents the total length of a one motion operation. If reversing is set to true, a cycle comprises two separate movements (the forward movement, which at completion will have a value of 0.5, and the movement in reverse which at completion will have a value of 1.0); otherwise a cycle is the length of one movement. Note that if repeating, each repetition will be a new cycle and thus the progress will reset to 0.0 for each repeat.

    Declaration

    Swift

    private(set) public var cycleProgress: Double

  • The amount of completed motion cycles. (read-only)

    Remark

    A cycle represents the total length of a one motion operation. If reversing is set to true, a cycle comprises two separate movements (the forward movement and the movement in reverse); otherwise a cycle is the length of one movement. Note that if repeating, each repetition will be a new cycle.

    Declaration

    Swift

    private(set) public var cyclesCompletedCount: UInt = 0

  • A value between 0.0 and 1.0, which represents the current overall progress of the PhysicsMotion. This value should include all reversing and repeat motion cycles. (read-only)

    Remark

    If a Motion is not repeating, this value will be equivalent to the value of cycleProgress.

    cycleProgress

    Declaration

    Swift

    public var totalProgress: Double
