Using the Timeline¶

When creating an animation you just define a timeline with a given curve as a transition. You can connect to the curve’s update signal and animate your object according to the second paramter given to your callback function.

Here is an example how to use the timeline:

from cream.gui import Timeline, CURVE_SINE

def update(timeline, state):
    print state

def completed(timeline):
    print "The timeline has finished!"

my_timeline = Timeline(1000, CURVE_SINE)
my_timeline.connect('update', update)
my_timeline.connect('completed', completed)
my_timeline.run()
