Wiggle API / Node

Interface: Node ​

Extended by ​

Properties ​

enter ​

readonly enter: Motion

Entrance motion for this node.


exit ​

readonly exit: ExitMotion

Exit motion for this node.


opacity ​

readonly opacity: Prop


perspective ​

readonly perspective: Prop

Camera distance in pixels for the perspective of a tilt. Zero is an orthographic tilt (no foreshortening); a few hundred to a couple thousand gives a natural look, smaller being stronger.


rotation ​

readonly rotation: Prop


rotationX ​

readonly rotationX: Prop

2.5D tilt about the horizontal axis, in degrees. With perspective set, the layer foreshortens like a card tilted in space. Applies to a drawn layer (text, shape, image, video), not a group.


rotationY ​

readonly rotationY: Prop

2.5D tilt about the vertical axis, in degrees.


scale ​

readonly scale: Prop


x ​

readonly x: Prop


y ​

readonly y: Prop

Methods ​

anchor() ​

anchor(x, y): Node

Set the anchor point (fraction of the node's bounds) that sits at the position and that scale and rotation pivot around. Default 0.5, 0.5.

Parameters ​

x ​

number

y ​

number

Returns ​

Node


at() ​

at(time): Node

Set when this element's entrance begins, in seconds from scene start.

Parameters ​

time ​

Duration

Returns ​

Node


backdropBlur() ​

backdropBlur(radius): Node

Frosted glass: blur the content seen through this layer by radius, tinted by its fill. Applies to shapes (rect, ellipse), whose outline is the mask. A uniform layer effect.

Parameters ​

radius ​

number

Returns ​

Node


blur() ​

blur(radius): Node

Gaussian-blur this layer's own pixels by radius. A uniform layer effect, available on any layer, like opacity and blend.

Parameters ​

radius ​

number

Returns ​

Node


chars() ​

chars(): NodeGroup

Split a text node into per-character units.

Returns ​

NodeGroup


lines() ​

lines(): NodeGroup

Split a text node into per-line units.

Returns ​

NodeGroup


morph() ​

morph(targets, opts?): Node

Morph this shape's outline through a sequence of target shapes, starting at at over duration, easing each step. A target is an SVG group (loadSVG), a builder (rect, ellipse), or another layer. The outline is matched and each target is fit into this layer's box. A rectangle or ellipse layer becomes a morphing path. Text, image, and video have no single outline and are refused.

Parameters ​

targets ​

MorphTarget[]

opts? ​
at? ​

Duration

duration? ​

Duration

ease? ​

Easing

Returns ​

Node


morphTo() ​

morphTo(target, opts?): Node

Morph to a single target. Sugar for morph([target], opts).

Parameters ​

target ​

MorphTarget

opts? ​
at? ​

Duration

duration? ​

Duration

ease? ​

Easing

Returns ​

Node


motionBlur() ​

motionBlur(on?): Node

Exclude this layer from the composition's motion blur, keeping it sharp while the rest smears. motionBlur(true) or no call leaves it blurred.

Parameters ​

on? ​

boolean

Returns ​

Node


moveTo() ​

moveTo(x, y, opts?): Node

Animate to a position, starting at at seconds. ease is a named curve or a spring (default "inOut"). With a spring and no duration, the motion settles naturally.

Parameters ​

x ​

number

y ​

number

opts? ​
at? ​

Duration

duration? ​

Duration

ease? ​

Easing

Returns ​

Node


name() ​

name(label): Node

Name this layer so the group it belongs to can reach it with find(name), and the studio shows the name. Used to label a component's parts.

Parameters ​

label ​

string

Returns ​

Node


rotateTo() ​

rotateTo(degrees, opts?): Node

Animate to a rotation in degrees, starting at at seconds. Several tweens on the same property chain, each continuing from the last. See moveTo for ease.

Parameters ​

degrees ​

number

opts? ​
at? ​

Duration

duration? ​

Duration

ease? ​

Easing

Returns ​

Node


scaleTo() ​

scaleTo(scale, opts?): Node

Animate to a uniform scale, starting at at seconds. See moveTo for ease.

Parameters ​

scale ​

number

opts? ​
at? ​

Duration

duration? ​

Duration

ease? ​

Easing

Returns ​

Node


words() ​

words(): NodeGroup

Split a text node into per-word units for staggered motion.

Returns ​

NodeGroup
