d3-ease

Easing is a method of distorting time to control apparent motion in animation. It is most commonly used for slow-in, slow-out. By easing time, animated transitions are smoother and exhibit more plausible motion.

The easing types in this module implement the ease method, which takes a normalized time t and returns the corresponding “eased” time . Both the normalized time and the eased time are typically in the range [0,1], where 0 represents the start of the animation and 1 represents the end; some easing types, such as elastic, may return eased times slightly outside this range. A good easing type should return 0 if t = 0 and 1 if t = 1. See the easing explorer for a visual demonstration.

These easing types are largely based on work by Robert Penner.

Installing

If you use NPM, npm install d3-ease. Otherwise, download the latest release. You can also load directly from d3js.org, either as a standalone library or as part of D3 4.0. AMD, CommonJS, and vanilla environments are supported. In vanilla, a d3 global is exported:

<script src="https://d3js.org/d3-ease.v1.min.js"></script>
<script>

var ease = d3.easeCubic;

</script>

API Reference

ease(t)

Given the specified normalized time t, typically in the range [0,1], returns the “eased” time , also typically in [0,1]. 0 represents the start of the animation and 1 represents the end. A good implementation returns 0 if t = 0 and 1 if t = 1. See the easing explorer for a visual demonstration. For example, to apply cubic easing:

var te = d3.easeCubic(t);

Similarly, to apply custom elastic easing:

// Before the animation starts, create your easing function.
var customElastic = d3.easeElastic.period(0.4);

// During the animation, apply the easing function.
var te = customElastic(t);
d3.easeLinear(t) Source
