WPF中的动画——（五）路径动画

路径动画是一种专门用于将对象按照指定的Path移动的动画，虽然我们也可以通过控制动画的旋转和偏移实现对象的移动，但路径动画更专业，它的实现更加简洁明了。

路径动画中最常用的是MatrixAnimationUsingPath，它通常用于控制对象的MatrixTransform，一个简单的例子如下： 

    <Canvas >
        <Canvas.Resources>
            <PathGeometry x:Key="path" Figures="M 10,100 C 35,0 135,0 160,100 180,190 285,200 310,100" />
            <Storyboard x:Key="pathStoryboard" >
                <MatrixAnimationUsingPath PathGeometry="{StaticResource path}"
                                          Storyboard.TargetName="ButtonMatrixTransform"
                                          Storyboard.TargetProperty="Matrix"
                                          DoesRotateWithTangent="True"
                                          Duration="0:0:5" RepeatBehavior="Forever" >
                </MatrixAnimationUsingPath>
            </Storyboard>
        </Canvas.Resources>
        
        <Canvas.Triggers>
            <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Control.Loaded">
                <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource pathStoryboard}" />
            </EventTrigger>
        </Canvas.Triggers>
        
        <Path Data="{StaticResource path}" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" />
        
        <Button Width="50" Height="20" >
            <Button.RenderTransform>
                <MatrixTransform x:Name="ButtonMatrixTransform" />
            </Button.RenderTransform>
        </Button>
    </Canvas>

注意这儿有一个DoesRotateWithTangent的属性，设置上它后，对象在移动的过程中还能根据路径的坡度旋转，非常有用。

除了MatrixAnimationUsingPath外，另外还有两种路径动画：PointAnimationUsingPath和DoubleAnimationUsingPath。PointAnimationUsingPath用于靠中心点确定位置的形状， 

    <Canvas >
        <Canvas.Resources>
            <PathGeometry x:Key="path" Figures="M 10,100 C 35,0 135,0 160,100 180,190 285,200 310,100" />
            <Storyboard x:Key="pathStoryboard" >
                <PointAnimationUsingPath PathGeometry="{StaticResource path}"
                                          Storyboard.TargetName="ellipse"
                                          Storyboard.TargetProperty="Center"
                                          Duration="0:0:5" RepeatBehavior="Forever" >
                </PointAnimationUsingPath>
            </Storyboard>
        </Canvas.Resources>
        
        <Canvas.Triggers>
            <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Control.Loaded">
                <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource pathStoryboard}" />
            </EventTrigger>
        </Canvas.Triggers>
        
        <Path Data="{StaticResource path}" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" />
        
        <Path Fill="Orange">
            <Path.Data>
                <EllipseGeometry x:Name="ellipse" Center="5,5" RadiusX="12" RadiusY="12"/>
            </Path.Data>
        </Path>
    </Canvas>

 DoubleAnimationUsingPath则是通过X、Y和Angle三个属性联合实现路径的变化，一般在TranslateTransform中使用，如下就是一个简单的例子： 

    <Canvas >
        <Canvas.Resources>
            <PathGeometry x:Key="path" Figures="M 10,100 C 35,0 135,0 160,100 180,190 285,200 310,100" />
            <Storyboard x:Key="pathStoryboard" >
                <DoubleAnimationUsingPath PathGeometry="{StaticResource path}"
                                          Storyboard.TargetName="translateTransform"
                                          Storyboard.TargetProperty="X"
                                          Source="X"
                                          Duration="0:0:5" RepeatBehavior="Forever" >
                </DoubleAnimationUsingPath>
                <DoubleAnimationUsingPath PathGeometry="{StaticResource path}"
                                          Storyboard.TargetName="translateTransform"
                                          Storyboard.TargetProperty="Y"
                                          Source="Y"
                                          Duration="0:0:5" RepeatBehavior="Forever" >
                </DoubleAnimationUsingPath>
            </Storyboard>
        </Canvas.Resources>
        
        <Canvas.Triggers>
            <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Control.Loaded">
                <BeginStoryboard Storyboard="{StaticResource pathStoryboard}" />
            </EventTrigger>
        </Canvas.Triggers>
        
        <Path Data="{StaticResource path}" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" />
        
        <Path Fill="Orange">
            <Path.Data>
                <EllipseGeometry x:Name="ellipse" Center="5,5" RadiusX="12" RadiusY="12"/>
            </Path.Data>
            <Path.RenderTransform>
                <TranslateTransform x:Name="translateTransform" />
            </Path.RenderTransform>
        </Path>
    </Canvas>

 这个实现的效果和MatrixAnimationUsingPath类似，但比它用法复杂，很难找到它的使用场景，但由于它的控制维度更多，可能一般用于需要更多的控制的地方吧。
