<viz>.blendLinkable

Creates a linkable object that blends between two linkables by a specified blend amount

Remarks

This command creates a new linkable object that blends between a specified begin and end linkable objects. When the blend amount is 0, the blend linkable will use 100% of the begin linkable. When the blend amount is 1, the blend linkable will use 100% of the end linkable. For blend values between 0 and 1, the blend linkable will interpolate between the two linkables.

Return Value

A VizBlendLinkable object which provides the following methods, in addition to the standard VizLinkable methods:

Method	Description
setBeginLinkable(begin)	Set the begin linkable object.
getBeginLinkable()	Get the begin linkable object.
setEndLinkable(end)	Set the end linkable object.
getEndLinkable()	Get the end linkable object.
setBlend(blend, mask=viz.LINK_ALL)	Set the blend percentage amount for the specified mask.
getBlend(mask=viz.LINK_ALL)	Get the blend percentage amount for the specified mask.

Example

import viz
import vizact
import vizshape
viz.go()

#Create begin object
begin = vizshape.addAxes(length = 0.2,pos=(-2,0,8))
begin.add(vizact.sequence(vizact.moveTo(pos=(-2,0,8),speed=2),vizact.moveTo(pos=(-2,2,8),speed=2),viz.FOREVER))

#Create end object
end = vizshape.addAxes(length = 0.2,pos=(2,2,8))
end.add(vizact.sequence(vizact.moveTo((2,2,8),speed=2),vizact.moveTo((2,0,8),speed=2),viz.FOREVER))

#Create blend linkable
blend = viz.blendLinkable(begin, end)
blend.setBlend(0.25)

#Create marker to attach to blend linkable
arrow = vizshape.addArrow()
link = viz.link(blend,arrow,mask=viz.LINK_ALL)
