Signal Documentation

animationFinished	(	QGraphicsItem	item,
		Plasma.Animator.Animation	anim
	)

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("animationFinished(QGraphicsItem*, Plasma::Animator::Animation)"), target_slot)

customAnimationFinished	(	int	id
	)

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("customAnimationFinished(int)"), target_slot)

elementAnimationFinished	(	int	id
	)

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("elementAnimationFinished(int)"), target_slot)

movementFinished	(	QGraphicsItem	item
	)

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("movementFinished(QGraphicsItem*)"), target_slot)

scrollStateChanged	(	QGraphicsWidget	widget,
		QAbstractAnimation.State	newState,
		QAbstractAnimation.State	oldState
	)

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("scrollStateChanged(QGraphicsWidget*, QAbstractAnimation::State, QAbstractAnimation::State)"), target_slot)

Method Documentation

__init__	(	self,
		QObject	parent=0
	)

int animateElement	(	self,
		QGraphicsItem	obj,
		Plasma.Animator.Animation	a1
	)

int animateItem	(	self,
		QGraphicsItem	item,
		Plasma.Animator.Animation	anim
	)

Starts a standard animation on a QGraphicsItem.

@arg item the item to animate in some fashion @arg anim the type of animation to perform

Returns:: the id of the animation

Deprecated:: use new Animator API with Qt Kinetic

QPixmap currentPixmap	(	self,
		int	id
	)

int customAnimation	(	self,
		int	frames,
		int	duration,
		Plasma.Animator.CurveShape	curve,
		QObject	receiver,
		QString	method
	)

Starts a custom animation, preventing the need to create a timeline with its own timer tick.

@arg frames the number of frames this animation should persist for @arg duration the length, in milliseconds, the animation will take @arg curve the curve applied to the frame rate @arg receive the object that will handle the actual animation @arg method the method name of slot to be invoked on each update. It must take a qreal. So if the slot is animate(qreal), pass in "animate" as the method parameter. It has an optional integer paramenter that takes an integer that reapresents the animation id, useful if you want to manage multiple animations with a sigle slot

Returns:: an id that can be used to identify this animation.

Deprecated:: use new Animator API with Qt Kinetic

bool isAnimating ( self )

Can be used to query if there are other animations happening. This way heavy operations can be delayed until all animations are finished.

Returns:: true if there are animations going on.

Since:: 4.1

Deprecated:: use new Animator API with Qt Kinetic

int moveItem	(	self,
		QGraphicsItem	item,
		Plasma.Animator.Movement	movement,
		QPoint	destination
	)

Starts a standard animation on a QGraphicsItem.

@arg item the item to animate in some fashion @arg anim the type of animation to perform

Returns:: the id of the animation

Deprecated:: use new Animator API with Qt Kinetic

registerScrollingManager	(	self,
		QGraphicsWidget	widget
	)

Register a widget as a scrolling widget. This function is deprecated: use a ScrollWidget, with setWidget() as your widget instead.

Parameters:

widget

the widget that offers a scrolling behaviour

Since:: 4.4

setInitialPixmap	(	self,
		int	id,
		QPixmap	pixmap
	)

stopCustomAnimation	(	self,
		int	id
	)

Stops a custom animation. Note that it is not necessary to call this on object destruction, as custom animations associated with a given QObject are cleaned up automatically on QObject destruction.

@arg id the id of the animation as returned by customAnimation

Deprecated:: use new Animator API with Qt Kinetic

stopElementAnimation	(	self,
		int	id
	)

stopItemAnimation	(	self,
		int	id
	)

Stops an item animation before the animation is complete. Note that it is not necessary to call this on normal completion of the animation.

@arg id the id of the animation as returned by animateItem

Deprecated:: use new Animator API with Qt Kinetic

stopItemMovement	(	self,
		int	id
	)

Stops an item movement before the animation is complete. Note that it is not necessary to call this on normal completion of the animation.

@arg id the id of the animation as returned by moveItem

Deprecated:: use new Animator API with Qt Kinetic

timerEvent	(	self,
		QTimerEvent	event
	)

unregisterScrollingManager	(	self,
		QGraphicsWidget	widget
	)

unregister the scrolling manager of a certain widget This function is deprecated: use ScrollWidget instead.

Parameters:

widget

the widget we don't want no longer animated

Since:: 4.4

Static Method Documentation

Plasma.Animation create	(	QString	animationName,
		QObject	parent=0
	)

Factory to build new custom easing curves.

Since:: 4.5

QEasingCurve create	(	Plasma.Animator.CurveShape	type
	)

Factory to build new custom easing curves.

Since:: 4.5

Plasma.Animator self ( )

Singleton accessor
