INTUAnimationEngine makes it easy to build advanced custom animations on iOS.
INTUAnimationEngine provides a friendly interface to drive custom animations using a CADisplayLink, inspired by the UIView block-based animation API. It enables interactive animations (normally driven by user input, such as a pan or pinch gesture) to run automatically over a given duration. It can also be used to get a callback every frame of an animation.
INTUAnimationEngine includes an extensive library of easing functions that can be used to customize animation timing, as well as a complete library of interpolation functions to animate any type of value or property including those that are not animatable by Core Animation.
The project also includes a standalone spring physics library to simulate damped harmonic motion. This is used under the hood to power a spring animation API on INTUAnimationEngine that allows full control over the damping, stiffness, and mass parameters. Since the spring solver is a completely independent and generic library implemented in pure C, it can be used on its own for many other applications apart from animation.
INTUAnimationEngine requires iOS 5.0 or later.
Add the pod INTUAnimationEngine
to your Podfile.
pod 'INTUAnimationEngine'
Run pod install
from Terminal, then open your app's .xcworkspace
file to launch Xcode.
Import the INTUAnimationEngine.h
header. Typically, this should be written as #import <INTUAnimationEngine/INTUAnimationEngine.h>
.
The Spring Solver used by INTUAnimationEngine is available as a standalone C library, where it can be used for other applications (including ones that are not related to animation). The Spring Solver has its own CocoaPods subspec so that it can be installed separately from the rest of the INTUAnimationEngine project. To install the Spring Solver only, add the following line to your Podfile:
pod 'INTUAnimationEngine/SpringSolver'
Note that installing INTUAnimationEngine using pod 'INTUAnimationEngine'
automatically includes the Spring Solver library as a dependency.
INTUAnimationEngine.h
header.The primary difference between INTUAnimationEngine and the UIView animation methods is how the animations
block works. With the UIView methods, the animations
block is only executed once, and the changes made to views within this block represent the new state at the end of the animation.
With INTUAnimationEngine, the animations
block is executed many times during the animation (once per frame), and each time it is executed, your code inside the block should update the state of views based upon the current value of the percentage
or progress
passed into the block. Typically, you'll want to use one of the interpolation functions included in this library to help generate all the intermediate values between the start and end states for a given property.
There are a few different API methods on INTUAnimationEngine that can be used to start an animation.
+ (INTUAnimationID)animateWithDuration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
delay:(NSTimeInterval)delay
animations:(void (^)(CGFloat percentage))animations
completion:(void (^)(BOOL finished))completion;
This method will start an animation that calls the animations
block each frame of the animation, passing in a percentage
value that represents the animation's current percentage complete. The completion
block will be executed when the animation completes, with the finished
parameter indicating whether the animation was canceled.
+ (INTUAnimationID)animateWithDuration:(NSTimeInterval)duration
delay:(NSTimeInterval)delay
easing:(INTUEasingFunction)easingFunction
animations:(void (^)(CGFloat progress))animations
completion:(void (^)(BOOL finished))completion;
This method will start an animation that calls the animations
block each frame of the animation, passing in a progress
value that represents the current progress of the animation (taking into account the easing function). The easingFunction
can be any of the easing functions in INTUEasingFunctions.h
, or a block that defines a custom easing curve. The completion
block will be executed when the animation completes, with the finished
parameter indicating whether the animation was canceled.
There is also another variant of the above method that takes an options:
parameter, which is a mask of INTUAnimationOptions
. This can be used to repeat or autoreverse animations.
+ (INTUAnimationID)animateWithDamping:(CGFloat)damping
stiffness:(CGFloat)stiffness
mass:(CGFloat)mass
delay:(NSTimeInterval)delay
animations:(void (^)(CGFloat progress))animations
completion:(void (^)(BOOL finished))completion;
This method will start a spring animation that calls the animations
block each frame of the animation, passing in a progress
value that represents the current progress of the animation. The animation will simulate the physics of a spring-mass system with the specified properties:
damping
– The amount of friction. Must be greater than or equal to zero. If exactly zero, the harmonic motion will continue indefinitely. Typical range: 1.0
to 30.0
stiffness
– The stiffness of the spring. Must be greater than zero. Typical range: 1.0
to 500.0
mass
– The amount of mass being moved by the spring. Must be greater than zero. Typical range: 0.1
to 10.0
Note that the total duration of the animation is determined by simulating a spring-mass system with the above parameters until it reaches a resting state. The completion
block will be executed when the animation completes, with the finished
parameter indicating whether the animation was canceled.
+ (void)cancelAnimationWithID:(INTUAnimationID)animationID;
When starting an animation, you can store the returned animation ID, and pass it to the above method to cancel the animation before it completes. If the animation is canceled, the completion block will execute with finished
parameter equal to NO.
INTUEasingFunctions.h
is a library of standard easing functions. Here's a handy cheat sheet that includes visualizations and animation demos for these functions.
INTUInterpolationFunctions.h
is a library of interpolation functions.
For discrete values (where linear interpolation does not make sense), there are two proxmial interpolation functions. For example:
INTUInterpolateDiscrete(NSTextAlignmentLeft, NSTextAlignmentRight, progress)
// Returns NSTextAlignmentLeft when progress is < 0.5, NSTextAlignmentRight otherwise
[INTUInterpolateDiscreteValues(@[@(NSTextAlignmentLeft), @(NSTextAlignmentCenter), @(NSTextAlignmentRight)], progress) integerValue]
// Returns NSTextAlignmentLeft, then NSTextAlignmentCenter, and finally NSTextAlignmentRight as progress increases from 0.0 to 1.0
For continuous values, there are a variety of linear interpolation functions. The following types are supported:
CGFloat
CGPoint
CGSize
CGRect
CGVector
UIOffset
UIEdgeInsets
UIColor
/ CGColor
There is also an untyped function INTUInterpolate()
that takes values of type id
and returns an interpolated value by automatically determining the type of the values. Proximal interpolation is used if the value types do not match, or if linear interpolation isn't supported for their type.
There are no functions that directly interpolate transforms. This is by design: linear interpolation of raw matrices often yields unexpected or invalid results. To interpolate between two transforms, decompose them into their translation, rotation, and scale components:
CGFloat rotation = INTUInterpolateCGFloat(0.0, M_PI, progress);
view.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(rotation);
// view will rotate from upright (progress = 0.0) to upside down (progress = 1.0)
You can concatenate transforms to combine them:
CGFloat rotation = INTUInterpolateCGFloat(0.0, M_PI, progress);
CGFloat scale = INTUInterpolateCGFloat(1.0, 0.5, progress);
view.transform = CGAffineTransformConcat(CGAffineTransformMakeScale(scale, scale), CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(rotation));
// view will rotate from upright and full size (progress = 0.0), to upside down and half size (progress = 1.0)
When interpolating between two colors, both colors must be in the same color space (grayscale, RGB, or HSB). Interpolating between colors in the HSB color space will generally yield better visual results than the RGB color space.
[UIColor colorWithWhite:1.0 alpha:1.0] // Grayscale color space; white
[UIColor colorWithRed:1.0 green:1.0 blue:1.0 alpha:1.0] // RGB color space; white
[UIColor colorWithHue:0.0 saturation:0.0 brightness:1.0 alpha:1.0] // HSB color space; white
The SpringSolver directory in the project contains a spring physics library to simulate damped harmonic motion, based on the spring solver that powers Facebook's Pop. The INTUAnimationEngine spring solver has been extensively refactored for simplicity and performance, and as a fully independent pure C library is highly portable to any platform and can be leveraged for other use cases beyond animation.
