In these lines, we're about to commit elm_transit (also by Samsung, just finishing the EFL-izing) and it's much like this, but more helpful. The elm_transit is not bound to a single object, rather you create it and add multiple objects, it will monitor them all and remove them from list as soon as EVAS_CALLBACK_DEL is called. So elm_animator is much useless as it's a worthless middle ground between ecore_animator and elm_transit. >> Raster, why did you add such elm_animator to Elementary?

Argh... by not extensible I mean not runtime extensible. You can't say "I want another curve" and just implement the interpolation of values, you'd need to complain to efl-developers and wait the next version to release a patch with yet another enum value. And as I said above, elm_transit will do that and more nicely. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -------------------------------------- MSN: [email protected] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
