boolean	hasFinished() Has the animator finished animating the value.
T	nextValue() Get the next value.
void	reset() Reset the animator back to its initial condition.

Method Detail

nextValue

T nextValue()

Get the next value. If the animator has finished, the continuation is checked to see if there are more animators to run. If not, then the last value is returned.

Returns:

the next value.

hasFinished

boolean hasFinished()
