Definition

Mathematical functions that control the acceleration and deceleration of animations over time, affecting how smoothly an animation progresses from its start to its end.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

Crucial for creating natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing animations, as different easing functions evoke different physical properties like a spring or a gentle fade.

Key properties or components

  • Controls animation speed
  • Adds realism
  • Examples: ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out, spring
  • Defined by curves or mathematical formulas

Contradictions or debates

None.
