WPF: Animating along path geometry

2020-03-24 09:23发布

I am dealing with the following issue for a week now. Please, bear with me as I explain.

What I am trying to achive is, for some of us, pretty simple, but being new to WPF makes things hard.

enter image description here

The image above was rendered by converting (already had) svg to xaml and afterwards importing it to Visual Studio. This is what the xaml looks like.

    <Canvas x:Name="Main" Margin="158,-223,-148,233">
        <Canvas.RenderTransform>
            <MatrixTransform Matrix="1.25 0 0 -1.25 -197.1231 961.58875"/>

 <Rectangle Name="object_to_move" Fill="LightBlue" Height="36" Stroke="Black" Width="41" Canvas.Left="330" Canvas.Top="229"/>

I want is to animate/move the box (Rectangle) along the path, making it (the box) look like traveling and using it (the path) as a road to move on.

I have tried using DoubleAnimationUsingPath. But I am very confused, and I think I am not using things properly.

I have found the following code snippt and tried to manipulate it and apply it to my example, but couldn't get it work.

 //  path139798.Freeze(); // For performance benefits. 
        DoubleAnimationUsingPath daPath = new DoubleAnimationUsingPath();
        daPath.Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
        daPath.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
        daPath.AccelerationRatio = 0.6;
        daPath.DecelerationRatio = 0.4;
        daPath.AutoReverse = true;
        daPath.PathGeometry = path139798;
        daPath.Source = PathAnimationSource.X;
        circle2.BeginAnimation(Canvas.LeftProperty, daPath);


        daPath = new DoubleAnimationUsingPath();
        daPath.Duration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5);
        daPath.RepeatBehavior = RepeatBehavior.Forever;
        daPath.AccelerationRatio = 0.6;
        daPath.DecelerationRatio = 0.4;
        daPath.AutoReverse = true;
        daPath.PathGeometry = path139798;
        daPath.Source = PathAnimationSource.Y;
        circle2.BeginAnimation(Canvas.TopProperty, daPath);
    }

Could someone help. Thanks!

Here's a working demo that might shed some light on DoubleAnimationUsingPath

<Window.Resources>
    <PathGeometry x:Key="AnimationPath" Figures="M 10,100 C 35,0 135,0 160,100 180,190 285,200 310,100" />
</Window.Resources>

<Grid>
    <Canvas x:Name="Main" >

        <!-- The Rectangle itself ... -->

        <Path xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Name="path139746" Fill="#FFD3BC5F">
            <Path.Data>
                <PathGeometry Figures="M 10,100 C 35,0 135,0 160,100 180,190 285,200 310,100" />
            </Path.Data>
        </Path>


        <Rectangle   
  Width="30" Height="30" Fill="Blue">
            <Rectangle.RenderTransform>
                <TransformGroup>
                    <RotateTransform x:Name="AnimatedRotateTransform" />
                    <TranslateTransform x:Name="AnimatedTranslateTransform"  />
                </TransformGroup>
            </Rectangle.RenderTransform>

            <Rectangle.Triggers>
                <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="Path.Loaded">
                    <BeginStoryboard>
                        <Storyboard RepeatBehavior="Forever" AutoReverse="True" >

                            <!-- Generates angle values (in degrees) from
               the path. This animation is used to
               rotate the rectangle. -->
                            <DoubleAnimationUsingPath
            Storyboard.TargetName="AnimatedRotateTransform"
            Storyboard.TargetProperty="Angle"
            PathGeometry="{StaticResource AnimationPath}"
            Source="Angle"
            Duration="0:0:5"  />

                            <!-- Generates horizontal offset values from
               the path. This animation is used to 
               animate the rectangle horizontally. -->
                            <DoubleAnimationUsingPath
            Storyboard.TargetName="AnimatedTranslateTransform"
            Storyboard.TargetProperty="X"
            PathGeometry="{StaticResource AnimationPath}"
            Source="X" 
            Duration="0:0:5"  />

                            <!-- Generates vertical offset values from
               the path. This animation is used to move
               the rectangle vertically. -->
                            <DoubleAnimationUsingPath
            Storyboard.TargetName="AnimatedTranslateTransform"
            Storyboard.TargetProperty="Y"
            PathGeometry="{StaticResource AnimationPath}"
            Source="Y" 
            Duration="0:0:5"  />
                        </Storyboard>
                    </BeginStoryboard>
                </EventTrigger>
            </Rectangle.Triggers>
        </Rectangle>

    </Canvas>
</Grid>

As you can see, the Rectangle follows a single path.... It will follow path139798 but it wont look right because that is a polygon, if you want the Rectangle to follow the centre line of the shapes (PathGeometry Figures) you will need to define the centre line for the animation path

So you have a lot of strange margins and stuff on your example. I didn't mess with it too much. I just added a motion path and notice the Storyboard but here you go.

Quick Tip: Blend (comes with visual studio) makes these sort of effects really quick and easy. For this example I just made the shape path to match your mock image. Then it's as easy as selecting it then right-click -> Path -> Make Motion Path and it will prompt you to select the object to follow the path. Took more time to load Blend then it did to make the example.

Hope this helps, cheers.
