Clutter comes with a number of fairly generic prebuilt behaviour
|
|
classes which provide a basis for transitions, animations and other
|
|
visual effects. However even with the ability to combine a number of
|
|
these behaviours sometimes they are not enough and a custom
|
|
behaviour is needed to create a spcific animation.

In order to implement a new #ClutterBehaviour subclass the usual
|
|
machinery for subclassing a GObject should be used. The new subclass
|
|
then just overides the ClutterBehaviour::alpha_notify() method. This
|
|
method is passed an alpha_value which is then used to computer
|
|
modifications to any actors the behaviour is applied to.
