SpringSimulation class

A spring simulation.

Models a particle attached to a spring that follows Hooke's law.

This method triggers an AnimationController (a previously constructed _controller field) to simulate a spring oscillation.
link 
void _startSpringMotion() {
  _controller.animateWith(SpringSimulation(
    const SpringDescription(
      mass: 1.0,
      stiffness: 300.0,
      damping: 15.0,
    ),
    0.0, // starting position
    1.0, // ending position
    0.0, // starting velocity
  ));
}

This AnimationController could be used with an AnimatedBuilder to animate the position of a child as if it were attached to a spring.

SpringSimulation(SpringDescription spring, double start, double end, double velocity, {Tolerance tolerance = Tolerance.defaultTolerance})
Creates a spring simulation from the provided spring description, start distance, end distance, and initial velocity.

Properties

hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited
tolerance ↔ Tolerance
How close to the actual end of the simulation a value at a particular time must be before isDone considers the simulation to be "done".
getter/setter pairinherited
type → SpringType
The kind of spring being simulated, for debugging purposes.
no setter

Methods

dx(double time) → double

override
isDone(double time) → bool
Whether the simulation is "done" at the given time.
override
