Custom Animations

Params: a, d, f, w

Parameter Types

Name	Description
a	Amplitude, the strength of an effect. A higher amplitude creates a stronger effect. For example: the height of a wave, the amount shake offsets letters.
d	Delay, the time in seconds before the effect starts.
f	Frequency, the speed of an animation. A higher frequency creates a faster effect.
w	Wave Size, for effects that work in waves (<wave>, <rainbow>, etc.). For example, a wave size of 5 means the full wave will be completed after 5 letters.

Examples

Code	Explanation
Example <wave>text</wave>!	text is animated as a wave, it uses default parameters.
<wiggle>Example</wiggle><wave>text</wave>	Example wiggles with default parameters; text waves with default parameters
<wave>Example <swing>text</swing></wave>	Animations can be combined
<wave f=5>Example</wave>	Example waves 5 times per second.
<wave a=3 d=3 f=5 w=10>Example</wave>	Example waves with an amplitude of 3 (very large), a frequency of 5, and a wave size of 10 letters. The animation starts 3 seconds after the text appears.

Performance cost

The type and amount of animations you use should not significantly impact performance. Most of the performance cost is up-front when you set your text and is mostly dependent on the length of your text.
