Not sure, if this Bezier curve isn't a bit over the top. What we need is just the ability to map from currentProgress to currentValue both between 0.0 and 1.0 (no matter what the documentation says about 0.1). So why not just do what Alexander Malmberg did in blit-main.m and pre-compute the four mappings for 256 values and map onto them? Or perhaps even that is not worthwhile, even when we use pow() this wont be to expensive. _______________________________________________ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
