c# - Color Animation with ease -


i have been following this question make color animation.

i can create animation , runs fine until animation gets started again. there moment feels animation has been started/stopped there moment. want animation run smoothly doesn't show restarting effects in colors. possible that?

i using following code:

        <storyboard x:key="gradientanimation"                 repeatbehavior="forever"                 storyboard.targetname="backgroundbrush"                 speedratio="0.3">         <coloranimationusingkeyframes             storyboard.targetproperty="(uielement.background).(lineargradientbrush.gradientstops)[0].(gradientstop.color)"             enabledependentanimation="true"             begintime="-0:0:0.5">              <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:0" value="black"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:1" value="red"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:2" value="black"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:3" value="red"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:4" value="black"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:5" value="red"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:6" value="black"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:7" value="red"/>          </coloranimationusingkeyframes>         <coloranimationusingkeyframes             storyboard.targetproperty="(uielement.background).(lineargradientbrush.gradientstops)[1].(gradientstop.color)"             enabledependentanimation="true">              <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:0" value="red"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:1" value="black"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:2" value="red"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:3" value="black"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:4" value="red"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:5" value="black"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:6" value="red"/>             <linearcolorkeyframe keytime="0:0:7" value="black"/>          </coloranimationusingkeyframes>     </storyboard>

and start animation in code-behind:

((storyboard)resources["gradientanimation"]).begin();

maybe there kind of 'easing' method mixes start , stop of animation appears smooth long running animation. suggestions?

you can try easingcolorkeyframe animation never smooth because it's running on ui thread (i.e. enabledependentanimation="true").

here's , bad news. have new gradient brush api @ composition layer level, means it's animatable , running off ui thread. performance wise it's going better current storyboard solution. it's available in windows 10 insider preview 16225 onward, means it's not going work of current users except insiders.

however, still going post new solution here future reference since there's no sample available on topic yet.

note have added sauce animation make more interesting. if want colors animated, feel free move endpoint , rotationangleindegrees animations (i use endpoint animation animate solid background color gradient @ startup of app , rotationangleindegrees rotate gradient brush forever).

var compositor = window.current.compositor;  // initially, set end point (0,0) 'cause want animate @ start. // if don't want behavior, set different value within (1,1). _gradientbrush = compositor.createlineargradientbrush(); _gradientbrush.endpoint = vector2.zero;  // create gradient initial colors. var gradientstop1 = compositor.createcolorgradientstop(); gradientstop1.offset = 0.0f; gradientstop1.color = gradientstop1startcolor; var gradientstop2 = compositor.createcolorgradientstop(); gradientstop2.offset = 1.0f; gradientstop2.color = gradientstop2startcolor; _gradientbrush.colorstops.add(gradientstop1); _gradientbrush.colorstops.add(gradientstop2);  // assign gradient brush root element's visual. _backgroundvisual = compositor.createspritevisual(); _backgroundvisual.brush = _gradientbrush; elementcompositionpreview.setelementchildvisual(root, _backgroundvisual);  // there 3 animations going on here. // first, kick off endpoint offset animation create special entrance scene. // once it's finished, kick off 2 other animations simultaneously.  // these 2 animations include set of gradient stop color animations , // rotation animation rotates gradient brush.  var linearease = compositor.createlineareasingfunction(); var batch = compositor.createscopedbatch(compositionbatchtypes.animation); batch.completed += (s, e) => {     startgradientcoloranimations();     startgradientrotationanimation(); }; var endpointoffsetanimation = compositor.createvector2keyframeanimation(); endpointoffsetanimation.duration = timespan.fromseconds(3); endpointoffsetanimation.insertkeyframe(1.0f, vector2.one); _gradientbrush.startanimation(nameof(_gradientbrush.endpoint), endpointoffsetanimation); batch.end();  void startgradientcoloranimations() {     var color1animation = compositor.createcolorkeyframeanimation();     color1animation.duration = timespan.fromseconds(10);     color1animation.iterationbehavior = animationiterationbehavior.forever;     color1animation.direction = animationdirection.alternate;     color1animation.insertkeyframe(0.0f, gradientstop1startcolor, linearease);     color1animation.insertkeyframe(0.5f, color.fromargb(255, 65, 88, 208), linearease);     color1animation.insertkeyframe(1.0f, color.fromargb(255, 43, 210, 255), linearease);     gradientstop1.startanimation(nameof(gradientstop1.color), color1animation);      var color2animation = compositor.createcolorkeyframeanimation();     color2animation.duration = timespan.fromseconds(10);     color2animation.iterationbehavior = animationiterationbehavior.forever;     color2animation.direction = animationdirection.alternate;     color2animation.insertkeyframe(0.0f, gradientstop2startcolor, linearease);     color1animation.insertkeyframe(0.5f, color.fromargb(255, 200, 80, 192), linearease);     color2animation.insertkeyframe(1.0f, color.fromargb(255, 43, 255, 136), linearease);     gradientstop2.startanimation(nameof(gradientstop2.color), color2animation); }  void startgradientrotationanimation() {     var rotationanimation = compositor.createscalarkeyframeanimation();     rotationanimation.duration = timespan.fromseconds(15);     rotationanimation.iterationbehavior = animationiterationbehavior.forever;     rotationanimation.insertkeyframe(1.0f, 360.0f, linearease);     _gradientbrush.startanimation(nameof(_gradientbrush.rotationangleindegrees), rotationanimation); }

here's working sample , following how looks like. :)

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
