mxAnimation (mxGraph 4.2.1 API Specification)

java.lang.Object
- com.mxgraph.util.mxEventSource
- - com.mxgraph.swing.util.mxAnimation

Direct Known Subclasses:

mxMorphing
```
public class mxAnimation
extends mxEventSource
```
Baseclass for all timer-based animations. Fires mxEvent.DONE when the stopAnimation method is called. Implement updateAnimation for the actual animation or listen to mxEvent.EXECUTE.

- Field Detail
  - DEFAULT_DELAY
```
public static int DEFAULT_DELAY
```
    Specifies the default delay for animations in ms. Default is 20.
  - delay
```
protected int delay
```
    Default is DEFAULT_DELAY.
  - timer
```
protected javax.swing.Timer timer
```
    Time instance that is used for timing the animation.
- Constructor Detail
  - mxAnimation
```
public mxAnimation()
```
    Constructs a new animation instance with the given repaint delay.
  - mxAnimation
```
public mxAnimation(int delay)
```
    Constructs a new animation instance with the given repaint delay.
- Method Detail
  - getDelay
```
public int getDelay()
```
    Returns the delay for the animation.
  - setDelay
```
public void setDelay(int value)
```
    Sets the delay for the animation.
  - isRunning
```
public boolean isRunning()
```
    Returns true if the animation is running.
  - startAnimation
```
public void startAnimation()
```
    Starts the animation by repeatedly invoking updateAnimation.
  - updateAnimation
```
public void updateAnimation()
```
    Hook for subclassers to implement the animation. Invoke stopAnimation when finished, startAnimation to resume. This is called whenever the timer fires and fires an mxEvent.EXECUTE event with no properties.
  - stopAnimation
```
public void stopAnimation()
```
    Stops the animation by deleting the timer and fires mxEvent.DONE.
