Crate egui_text_animation

egui-text-animation provides simple text animation utilities for the egui library.

This library offers the TextAnimator struct to create various text animations. It’s designed to be easy to integrate into your existing egui applications. The core of the library is the TextAnimator struct, which manages the state of the animation, and the AnimationType enum, which determines the type of animation to perform.

Features

• Fade-in Animation: Animate text to gradually appear, character by character. See AnimationType::FadeIn.
• Typewriter Animation: Animate text to appear as if it’s being typed. See AnimationType::Typewriter.
• Hacker Animation: Animate text to appear as if it’s being decoded. See AnimationType::Hacker.
• Customizable Speed: Control the speed of the animation with TextAnimator::set_speed.
• Easy Integration: Simply create a TextAnimator, call TextAnimator::process_animation each frame, and then render with TextAnimator::render.
• Automatic Repainting: Call ctx.request_repaint() inside your update loop to ensure smooth animation.
• Animation Control: You can check if the animation is finished with TextAnimator::is_animation_finished and reset it with TextAnimator::reset.

Animation Types

The AnimationType enum provides the following animation types:

• AnimationType::FadeIn: Characters gradually fade in from transparent to fully opaque.
• AnimationType::Typewriter: Characters appear one by one, simulating a typewriter effect.
• AnimationType::Hacker: Characters cycle through random characters before settling on the final character.

Notes

• The unstable_dt value from ctx.input(|i| i.unstable_dt) is used for frame-independent animation timing. This ensures the animation runs at the correct speed regardless of the application’s frame rate.
• It’s crucial to call ctx.request_repaint() during the animation to ensure that egui re-renders the UI, thus updating the animation.
