This evaluator can be used to perform type interpolation between float values.

/**
 * This evaluator can be used to perform type interpolation between <code>float</code> values.
 */
public class FloatEvaluator implements TypeEvaluator<Number> {

    
This function returns the result of linearly interpolating the start and end values, with
fraction representing the proportion between the start and end values. The
calculation is a simple parametric calculation: result = x0 + t * (v1 - v0),
where x0 is startValue, x1 is endValue,
and t is fraction.

Params:
  • fraction –   The fraction from the starting to the ending values
  • startValue – The start value; should be of type float or
                  Float
  • endValue –   The end value; should be of type float or Float
Returns:A linear interpolation between the start and end values, given the
        fraction parameter.
