 * SECTION:clutter-animator
 * @short_description: Multi-actor tweener
 * @See_Also: #ClutterAnimatable, #ClutterInterval, #ClutterAlpha,
 *   #ClutterTimeline
 *
 * #ClutterAnimator is an object providing declarative animations for
 * #GObject properties belonging to one or more #GObject<!-- -->s to
 * #ClutterIntervals.
 *
 * #ClutterAnimator is used to build and describe complex animations
 * in terms of "key frames". #ClutterAnimator is meant to be used
 * through the #ClutterScript definition format, but it comes with a
 * convenience C API.
 *
 * <refsect2 id="ClutterAnimator-key-frames">
 *   <title>Key Frames</title>
 *   <para>Every animation handled by a #ClutterAnimator can be
 *   described in terms of "key frames". For each #GObject property
 *   there can be multiple key frames, each one defined by the end
 *   value for the property to be computed starting from the current
 *   value to a specific point in time, using a given easing
 *   mode.</para>
 *   <para>The point in time is defined using a value representing
 *   the progress in the normalized interval of [ 0, 1 ]. This maps
 *   the value returned by clutter_timeline_get_duration().</para>
 *   <figure id="easing-modes">
 *     <title>Key Frames</title>
 *     <graphic fileref="animator-key-frames.png" format="PNG"/>
 *   </figure>
 *   <para>In the image above the duration of the animation is
 *   represented by the blue line. Each key frame is the white dot,
 *   along with its progress. The red line represents the computed
 *   function of time given the easing mode.</para>

 * <refsect2 id="ClutterAnimator-script">
 *   <title>ClutterAnimator description for #ClutterScript</title>
 *   <para>#ClutterAnimator defines a custom "properties" property
 *   which allows describing the key frames for objects.</para>
