Vector3DKeyFrame.KeyTime Property
Gets or sets the time at which the key frame's target Value should be reached.
Namespace: System.Windows.Media.Animation
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)

<object KeyTime="KeyTime" .../>
Property Value
Type: System.Windows.Media.Animation.KeyTimeThe time at which the key frame's current value should be equal to its Value property. The default value is Uniform.

IKeyFrame.KeyTimeIn the following example, Point3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames is used to animate the position of a PerspectiveCamera in a 3D scene. In addition, Vector3DAnimationUsingKeyFrames is used to animate the direction the camera is pointing in the 3D scene. Both of these animations use several key frames which create a series of animation effects:
LinearPoint3DKeyFrame and LinearVector3DKeyFrame are used to create a smooth, linear interpolation between values.
DiscretePoint3DKeyFrame and DiscreteVector3DKeyFrame are used to create sudden "jumps" between values (no interpolation).
SplinePoint3DKeyFrame and SplineVector3DKeyFrame are used to create a variable transition between values depending on the KeySpline property. In the example below, the animation starts off slow but toward the end of the time segment, speeds up exponentially.

| How to: Control Key-Frame Animation Timing | This example shows how to control the timing of key frames within a key-frame animation. Like other animations, key-frame animations have a Duration property. In addition to specifying the duration of an animation, you need to specify what part of that duration is allotted to each of its key frames. To allot the time, you specify a KeyTime for each key frame in the animation. |
