Animation

The Animation system in TermOx allows Timer Events to be sent to any Widget at a chosen interval. The Animation Engine contains its own Event Loop, running in a separate thread.

Methods

void Widget::enable_animation(Animation_engine::Duration_t interval)

This will start sending Timer Events to the called on Widget every period. Be careful with extremely small periods, this could lock up the UI.

void Widget::enable_animation(FPS fps)

Same as above, but will calculate the period from the given FPS.

void Widget::disable_animation()

This will stop any Timer Events from being sent to the called on Widget.

Pipe Methods

• animate(Animation_engine::Duration_t interval)
• animate(FPS fps)
• disanimate()
