lerp method

  1. @protected
T lerp(
  1. double t
)

Returns the value this variable has at the given animation clock value.

The default implementation of this method uses the +, -, and * operators on T. The begin and end properties must therefore be non-null by the time this method is called.

In general, however, it is possible for this to return null, especially when t=0.0 and begin is null, or t=1.0 and end is null.

Implementation

@protected
T lerp(double t) {
  assert(begin != null);
  assert(end != null);
  assert(() {
    // Assertions that attempt to catch common cases of tweening types
    // that do not conform to the Tween requirements.
    dynamic result;
    try {
      // ignore: avoid_dynamic_calls
      result = (begin as dynamic) + ((end as dynamic) - (begin as dynamic)) * t;
      result as T;
      return true;
