Swing Ease

[piers]

Is there any way to implement a swing ease? In Actionscript I would create one myself with custom ease like so:

 

 

But right now there is not a custom ease plugin for java (yet). Is there a way around this? I would love a standard ease.SwingInOut in the EasePack.js. It's such a natural ease to have, I'm sure other people would love a Swing ease as well.

 

Thank you for your time.

I think the answer here applies to my post as well. Still I would like to hear your thoughts about the Swing ease being part of the standard ease pack.

Hi,

 

I am not familiar with the term "swing" ease. The ease you showed in the screenshot looks very very similar to a Cubic.easeInOut. In fact any one of the easeInOut eases will give you slight variances of that curve style.

 

check out Cubic.easeInOut in the GreenSock ease visualizer: http://www.greensock.com/roughease/

 

Hopefully while custom eases aren't part of the js port, that tool will help you find an ease that suits your needs.

Yep, as Carl said, that looks exactly like a simple easeInOut. In v12, I'd encourage you to experiment with the Power eases to get exactly the strength you want, like:

 

Power1.easeInOut

Power2.easeInOut

Power3.easeInOut

Power4.easeInOut

 

(Cubic is the same as Power2, by the way)

 

Those are all internally-accelerated too, so they should perform great. Does one of those give you what you want?

Cubic is very similair but it doesn't have the same feel. I made a little comparison of the Cubic and Swing ease:

Which one feels more like a natural swing to you? You can click on the boxes to see which is which.

They're close, but I see what you mean about the other one looking slightly more natural. Did you try Power3.easeInOut or Power4.easeInOut?

Power1 (Quad) seems like a perfect match! Problem solved.
