For easing there are different functors given (in the namespace interpolators: linear, cubic_in_out, quintic_in_out, cosine_in_out), but using a custom ease function is also possible (as long as it is convertible to std::function, see below for the type). The constructor takes three values: the first is the begin_value (usually 0), the second is the length of interpolation time, the last is the ease function. The interpolation time and the ease function can be changed later with the corresponding setters. The interpolated value can be retrieved with .get_value(), setting a new value to interpolate to is done via .set_value(new_value). Updating the time is done with .interpolate(dt). For example (interpolating a float from 0 to 10 in 5 seconds, with easing): // creation: interpolator my_value (0.0, 5.0, interpolators::cosine_in_out); my_value.set_value(10.0); // in update function: my_value.interpolate(dt); do_magic(my_value.get_value()); It can also be used with c-style arrays and std::array's. This can be usefull for interpolating matrices or colours and such. Templates and types: interpolator T indicates the type of the value (for example: float, float[16], std::array) Time indicates the type of the time-steps, you can use int if the system is frame-based (default: float) ease_function has type std::function where S is the element-type of T, this means: If T = float (or any other single value) -> S = float If T = float[4] (or std::array) -> S = float In other cases (eg. custom types) it will probably not work.
