JavaFX : Rotated animation delay between cycles

Question

I\'ve created an animation for an ImageView based on a RotatedTranstion using the following code :

ImageView icon = ImageCache.getImage(\"refresh.png\");
Ro         


        

Answer 1

The timing for acceleration and deceleration at each Transition cycle is controlled by the Interpolator. The default Interpolator used by Transition is Interpolator.EASE_BOTH.

You want linear interpolation so add this to your code:

rotateTransition.setInterpolator(Interpolator.LINEAR);

Answer 2

The apparent pause between each cycle is caused by the interpolator, which by default uses Interpolator.EASE_BOTH (so it decelerates at the end of each cycle and accelerates at the beginning).

To remove this, just set the interpolator to Interpolator.LINEAR:

rotateTransition.setInterpolator(Interpolator.LINEAR);
