Method Details

values

public static TweenRotations[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static TweenRotations valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

Interpolate among unit quaternions in a time sequence using this technique.

Parameters:

times - (not null, unaffected, length>0, in strictly ascending order)

cycleTime - end time for looping (≥times[lastIndex])

samples - function values (not null, unaffected, same length as times, each norm=1)

storeResult - storage for the result (modified if not null)

Returns:

an interpolated unit quaternion (either storeResult or a new instance)
