Interface Fx

All Known Implementing Classes:
BaseElement, CompositeElement, CompositeElementLite, ExtElement, Layer
public interface Fx

Interface that provide basic animation and visual effects support.

It is important to note that although the Fx methods and many non-Fx Element methods support "method chaining" in that they return the Element object itself as the method return value, it is not always possible to mix the two in a single method chain. The Fx methods use an internal effects queue so that each effect can be properly timed and sequenced. Non-Fx methods, on the other hand, have no such internal queueing and will always execute immediately. For this reason, while it may be possible to mix certain Fx and non-Fx method calls in a single chain, it may not always provide the expected results and should be done with care.

 // 3 red ripples lasting 3 seconds total
 el.frame("ff0000", 3, new FxConfig() {
                     {
                         setDurtion(3);

Parameters:
color - he color of the border. Should be a 6 char hex color without the leading # (defaults to light blue: 'C3DAF9').
