CurvedAnimation class

An animation that applies a curve to another animation.

CurvedAnimation is useful when you want to apply a non-linear Curve to an animation object, especially if you want different curves when the animation is going forward vs when it is going backward.

Depending on the given curve, the output of the CurvedAnimation could have a wider range than its input. For example, elastic curves such as Curves.elasticIn will significantly overshoot or undershoot the default range of 0.0 to 1.0.

If you want to apply a Curve to a Tween, consider using CurveTween.

The following code snippet shows how you can apply a curve to a linear animation produced by an AnimationController controller.
link
final Animation<double> animation = CurvedAnimation(
  parent: controller,
  curve: Curves.ease,
);

This second code snippet shows how to apply a different curve in the forward direction than in the reverse direction. This can't be done using a CurveTween (since Tweens are not aware of the animation direction when they are applied).
link
final Animation<double> animation = CurvedAnimation(
  parent: controller,
  curve: Curves.easeIn,
  reverseCurve: Curves.easeOut,
);

By default, the reverseCurve matches the forward curve.
