<p>
Transitions are used to execute a set of operations over a given period of time,
producing an animation effect. For example, they are used to slide sheets in and out of
view, fade menu items, and "slide" from one card to another in a card pane.
</p>
<p>
Because transitions are often very specific to the item on which they operate, Pivot
does not include any stock transitions. However, it is very easy to create one. The
following application demonstrates the use of a "collapse transition" that causes a
button to shrink and fade as it is removed from its parent container:
</p>
<application class="org.apache.pivot.wtk.ScriptApplication"
width="180" height="40">
<libraries>
<library>core</library>
<library>wtk</library>
<library>wtk-terra</library>
<library>tutorials</library>
</libraries>
<startup-properties>
<src>/org/apache/pivot/tutorials/effects/transitions.bxml</src>
</startup-properties>
</application>
<p>The BXML source for the example is shown below. It simply creates a box pane containing several push buttons:</p>
<source type="xml" location="org/apache/pivot/tutorials/effects/transitions.bxml">
<![CDATA[
<effects:Transitions title="Transitions" maximized="true"
xmlns:bxml="http://pivot.apache.org/bxml"
xmlns:effects="org.apache.pivot.tutorials.effects"
xmlns="org.apache.pivot.wtk">
<BoxPane styles="{padding:4, spacing:4}">
<PushButton bxml:id="button1" buttonData="One"/>
<PushButton bxml:id="button2" buttonData="Two"/>
<PushButton bxml:id="button3" buttonData="Three"/>
<PushButton bxml:id="button4" buttonData="Four"/>
</BoxPane>
</effects:Transitions>
]]>
</source>
<p>
The Java source for the application is below. It attaches a button press listener to
each button that starts the collapse transition when the button is pressed (or reverses
it if one is already running):

<p>
In the transition's <tt>start()</tt> method, it attaches a fade decorator to the
component, which is later used by the <tt>update()</tt> method to produce the fade
part of the effect. The decorator is removed in <tt>stop()</tt>.
</p>
<p>
The <tt>update()</tt> method is called periodically to update the state of the
transition. In this example, it will be called 30 times per second for a duration of
250 milliseconds. Each time <tt>update()</tt> is called, the transition adjusts the
opacity of the fade decorator to the inverse of the completion percentage and sets the
component's preferred width to the given percentage of the component's initial width
when the transition started. When the transition is complete, the opacity value will be
zero, as will its preferred width. It is then removed from the parent box pane by the
transition listener that had been passed to the <tt>start()</tt> method.
