Squash Fade creation
	Fade_Squash Creates a new Squash fade object. myFade = new Fade_Squash( Type, Blending_Mode, bReverse ) myFade = new Fade_Squash( Type, Blending_Mode ) myFade = new Fade_Squash( Type ) myFade = new Fade_Squash( ) Return value Newly created fade object. Parameters Type Pointer to a distortion function; This can be one of your own (takes 3 surfaces (target, oldFrame, newFrame) and a value from 0 to 1 and applies the desired effect to the target) or one of the following: Squash_BookLeft The effect of a book opening / closing to the left Squash_BookRight The effect of a book opening / closing to the right Squash_BookUp The effect of a book opening / closing to the top Squash_BookDown The effect of a book opening / closing to the bottom Blending_Mode Pointer to a blending function; This can be one of your own (takes a value from 0 to 1 and returns a value from 0 to 255) or one of the following: Blending_Off No blending used Blending_Linear Linear blending used (default) Blending_Square Blending amount related to the square of the time Blending_Root Blending amount related to the square root of the time Blending_Sine Starts and ends solid Blending_Log Logarithmic rise in opacity Blending_Inverse Not sure what this does Blending_Smooth More complex version of linear. Gives a more natural result. Blending_Power Interesting blending based on the square of the time Blending_Sine2 Again, more interesting, based on the sine of the time Blending_Electric Slow flashing which gets faster towards the end of the fade Blending_Bounce Blending "bounces" through the fade bReverse TRUE to play the transition backwards. FALSE (default) to play it normally Comments When making your own blending functions, it is recomended to only return integers from 0 to 255 to avoid unexpected behaviour. This can be achieved by adding Max(Min(Round( [result] ),255),0) when the value is returned (replace [result] with your variable) This is not necessary if you know the value will be safe. It is possible, though fairly pointless, to change the blending mode later on through SetFade. When you make your own squash functions, you should make all changes to the first surface; not the other 2. JAM © 2005 no one in particular Project started by David Evans in 2005
