The steps()
CSS function defines a transition that divides the input time into a specified number of intervals that are equal in length. This subclass of step functions are sometimes also called staircase functions.
/* Different intervals */
steps(2, end)
steps(4, jump-end)
steps(12, end)
/* Different jump positions */
steps(3, jump-start)
steps(3, jump-end)
steps(3, jump-none)
steps(3, jump-both)
Parameters
The function accepts the following parameters:
<integer>
Represents the number of equidistant intervals or 'steps'. It must be a positive integer greater than 0
unless the second parameter is jump-none
, in which case, it must be a positive integer greater than 1
.
<step-position>
Specifies when the jump between values occurs. If omitted, it defaults to end
. The possible keyword values include:
jump-start
or start
Indicates that the first step happens when the animation begins.
jump-end
or end
Indicates that the last step happens when the animation ends.
jump-none
Indicates neither early nor late jumps happen.
jump-both
Indicates both early and late jumps happen.
The steps()
function divides the animation duration into equal intervals. For example, steps(4, end)
divides the animation into four equal intervals, with values changing at the end of each interval except the last change which occurs at the animation's end.
If an animation contains multiple segments, the specified number of steps applies to each segment. For example, if an animation has three segments and uses steps(2)
, there will be six steps in total, with two steps per segment.
The following image shows the affect of different <step-position>
values when the jumps occur:
steps(2, jump-start) /* Or steps(2, start) */
steps(4, jump-end) /* Or steps(4, end) */
steps(5, jump-none)
steps(3, jump-both)
Formal syntax
<steps()> =Examples Using the steps() function
steps( <integer> , <step-position>? )<step-position> =
jump-start |
jump-end |
jump-none |
jump-both |
start |
end
The following steps()
functions are valid:
/* Five steps with jump at the end */
steps(5, end)
/* Two steps with jump at the start */
steps(2, start)
/* Using default second parameter */
steps(2)
The following steps()
functions are invalid:
/* First parameter must be an <integer>, not a real value */
steps(2.0, jump-end)
/* Number of steps must be positive */
steps(-3, start)
/* Number of steps must be at least 1 */
steps(0, jump-none)
