Highlight
ABSTRACT
The Highlight animation function emphasizes a subset of a mesh-tree of a variable over a specified duration, flashing the selected portion to a specified color. Note that highlight manages the trees for you; you do not need to provide a tree
PARAMETERS
| value | the mesh-tree that houses the meshes to be highlighted |
| value | the mesh-tree that houses the meshes to be highlighted |
| tag_predicate(tag) | The predicate function that determines whether a mesh that is part of the provided mesh-tree should undergo the flashing effect as a result of this animation. |
| color | a 4-vector representing the color that the meshes should be flashed to |
| color | a 4-vector representing the color that the meshes should be flashed to |
| unit_map(u) | Defaults to smooth(u). If provided, it is essentially a rate function that controls the timing of this animation. It receives normalized time from 0 to 1 and returns a normalized time from 0 to 1. |
| time | How long the entire animation should take |
RETURN
Returns an animation that, when executed, produces a flashing effect for the specified subset of the variable's mesh-tree over the specified duration.
