This class is used as part of a ThicknessKeyFrameCollection in conjunction with a ThicknessAnimationUsingKeyFrames to animate a Thickness property value along a set of key frames.
A key frame defines a segment of the ThicknessAnimationUsingKeyFrames to which it belongs. Each key frame has a target Value and a KeyTime. The KeyTime specifies the time at which the key frame's Value should be reached. A key frame animates from the target value of the previous key frame to its own target value. It starts when the previous key frame ends and ends when its own key time is reached.
Spline key frames like SplineThicknessKeyFrame creates a variable transition between values which is determined by the KeySpline property. Splined interpolation can be used to achieve more realistic "real world" timing effects such as acceleration and deceleration.
This example shows how to animate the BorderThickness property of a Border.
The following example uses the ThicknessAnimationUsingKeyFrames class to animate the BorderThickness property of a Border. This animation uses three key frames in the following manner:
During the first half second, uses an instance of the LinearThicknessKeyFrame class to gradually increase the thickness of the border. The example uses LinearThicknessKeyFrame to create a smooth linear increase between values.
At the end of the next half second, uses an instance of the DiscreteThicknessKeyFrame class to suddenly increase the thickness of the border. Discrete key frames like those derived from DiscreteThicknessKeyFrame create sudden jumps between values, that is, the movement of the animation is jerky.
During the final two seconds, uses an instance of the SplineThicknessKeyFrame class to decrease the thickness of the border. Spline key frames like those derived from SplineThicknessKeyFrame create a variable transition between values according to the values of the KeySpline property. In this key frame, the animation starts off slow and speeds up exponentially toward the end of the time segment.
