Understanding the New Linear Timing Function
The linear timing function in CSS allows for the specification of multiple points to create dynamic animations. Unlike traditional timing functions that are limited to a set number of parameters, this function can accept any number of stops, enabling smoother transitions and effects that mimic natural motion. For example, using a series of closely placed points can simulate effects like springs and bounces, giving more fluidity to animations. The capability to control the placement of these stops provides flexibility in designing intricate animations that can significantly enhance user experience.
