QML How reverse play animation - qml

Question

I want an object, need it to fellow a complex path and move as an animation.
The path is included line and curve. just like a train.
Two solution: 1. PathAnimation or 2. states with multi-animation
Problem of solution 1:
The train maybe stop at a random time-point(pause the animation), and go reverse back to the start position(play animation reversely).
So i want know any way to play PathAnimation reversely?

Answer 1

I think QML doesn't have that functionality.
You could set a new path whenever you need a new one. I.e, when you animation ends.
Here you have an example:
import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Controls 1.1
ApplicationWindow {
visible: true
width: 350
height: 300
Rectangle {
id: window
width: 350
height: 300
Canvas {
id: canvas
anchors.fill: parent
antialiasing: true
onPaint: {
var context = canvas.getContext("2d")
context.clearRect(0, 0, width, height)
context.strokeStyle = "black"
context.path = pathAnim.path
context.stroke()
}
}
SequentialAnimation {
id: mySeqAnim
running: true
PauseAnimation { duration: 1000 }
PathAnimation {
id: pathAnim
duration: 2000
easing.type: Easing.InQuad
target: box
orientation: PathAnimation.RightFirst
anchorPoint: Qt.point(box.width/2, box.height/2)
path: myPath1
}
onStopped: {
console.log("test")
pathAnim.path = myPath2;
mySeqAnim.start();
}
}
Path {
id: myPath1
startX: 50; startY: 100
PathLine { x: 300; y: 100 }
onChanged: canvas.requestPaint()
}
Path {
id: myPath2
startX: 300; startY: 100
PathLine { x: 50; y: 100 }
onChanged: canvas.requestPaint()
}
Rectangle {
id: box
x: 25; y: 75
width: 50; height: 50
border.width: 1
antialiasing: true
Text {
anchors.centerIn: parent
}
}
}
}
