=== animation-delay===
<code>animation-delay</code> sets when an animation starts.
It can start when
* page is loaded: <code>0s</code>
* N seconds after the page is loaded: <code>positive number of seconds</code>
* N seconds before the page is loaded, meaning that it will already be halfway through it: <code>negative number of seconds</code>

=== animation: transform-origin===
figuring out what is the center point of an element, so that we can rotate/skew/scale it, from it center point, can be a bit tricky.
A simple solution is to
* add in the vector drawing a circle to the center of the element
* in the SVG code see the <code>cx</code> and <code>cy</code>
* those points will be the center of the element
* than we can simply delete the circle for our svg code.

===animation-timing-function===
<code>animation-timing-function</code> sets how an animation progresses through the duration of each cycle.
Possible values:
* linear: same speed from start to end
* ease-in: slow at the beginning, fast/abrupt at the end
* ease-out: fast/abrupt at the beginning, slow at the end
* ease-in-out: slow at beginning and end
* steps: makes a staccato motion, between the keyframes in N number of steps: <code>steps(5)</code>

CSS Animations can be used on both HTML elements and SVG drawing elements embedded in a HTML page.


CSS animation parts

A CSS animation is made with resource to 2 parts

animation properties

specify what CSS element will be animated, and how (animation name, how fast, how many times)

  • animation-name: name-of-animation (to be used in @keyframes)
  • animation-duration: in seconds
  • animation-delay: in seconds
  • animation-timing-function: linear, ease, steps(5) More on animation-timing-function
  • animation-iteration-count: number, infinite
  • animation-direction: normal, reverse, alternate, alternate-reverse;
  • animation-play-state: playing, paused;

@keyframes

specifiy what happens at each stage of the animation.

  • using percentages of time
  • from, to positions
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<style type="text/css">
		h1 {
			animation-name: textanim;
			animation-duration: 5s;		
			animation-timing-function: steps(10);	
			animation-iteration-count: infinite;
			animation-direction:alternate-reverse;
			transform-origin: center bottom ;
			}

		@keyframes textanim {
			0% {  color:black;
				transform: translate(0px,0px);
				}
				
			50%{ color:red; 
				transform: translate(150px,50px);
				}

			100%{ color:black; 
				transform: translate(300px,0px);
				}
			}

animation tricks

animation-play-state

You can set the animation to play or pause when you hover/click in the element animation-play-state: playing; animation-play-state: paused;

animation-delay

animation-delay sets when an animation starts.

It can start when

  • page is loaded: 0s
  • N seconds after the page is loaded: positive number of seconds
  • N seconds before the page is loaded, meaning that it will already be halfway through it: negative number of seconds

animation: transform-origin

figuring out what is the center point of an element, so that we can rotate/skew/scale it, from it center point, can be a bit tricky. A simple solution is to

  • add in the vector drawing a circle to the center of the element
  • in the SVG code see the cx and cy
  • those points will be the center of the element
  • than we can simply delete the circle for our svg code.

Possible values:

  • linear: same speed from start to end
  • ease-in: slow at the beginning, fast/abrupt at the end
  • ease-out: fast/abrupt at the beginning, slow at the end
