Effects (dojo.lfx) changes

The dojo.Animation module and some basic effects have been moved to dojo base so that they will always be available. The base code includes the following code from dojo.lfx: as well as the associated Animation and Line objects, which are now private. All dojo.fx functions use a single object as a parameter, using dojo.mixin to find appropriate information. for example: /* GeSHi (C) 2004 - 2007 Nigel McNie (http://qbnz.com/highlighter) */ .geshifilter {font-family: monospace;} .geshifilter .imp {font-weight: bold; color: red;} .geshifilter .kw1 {color: #000066; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .kw2 {color: #003366; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .kw3 {color: #000066;} .geshifilter .co1 {color: #009900; font-style: italic;} .geshifilter .coMULTI {color: #009900; font-style: italic;} .geshifilter .es0 {color: #000099; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .br0 {color: #66cc66;} .geshifilter .st0 {color: #3366CC;} .geshifilter .nu0 {color: #CC0000;} .geshifilter .me1 {color: #006600;} .geshifilter .re0 {color: #0066FF;}
var args = {
    node: 'pane', // always required
    duration: 1000 // always required
    properties: { // core of _Animation
        opacity: {
            start:0.2,
            end:0.75
        }
   }
}; dojo.animateProperty(args).play(); // play it

Callbacks can be defined either via dojo.connect or as a property of the Animation: /* GeSHi (C) 2004 - 2007 Nigel McNie (http://qbnz.com/highlighter) */ .geshifilter {font-family: monospace;} .geshifilter .imp {font-weight: bold; color: red;} .geshifilter .kw1 {color: #000066; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .kw2 {color: #003366; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .kw3 {color: #000066;} .geshifilter .co1 {color: #009900; font-style: italic;} .geshifilter .coMULTI {color: #009900; font-style: italic;} .geshifilter .es0 {color: #000099; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .br0 {color: #66cc66;} .geshifilter .st0 {color: #3366CC;} .geshifilter .nu0 {color: #CC0000;} .geshifilter .me1 {color: #006600;} .geshifilter .re0 {color: #0066FF;}
var foo = dojo.fadeOut({ node: node, duration:400,
        onEnd: function(){  alert('finished playing!'); },
        beforeBegin: function(){ alert('starting.'); }
}).play();
// or
var foo = dojo.fadeOut({node: node, duration:400 });
dojo.connect(foo,"onEnd",function(){ alert('finished playing!'); });
dojo.connect(foo,"beforeBegin",function(){ alert('starting.'); });
foo.play();

dojo.lfx.Chain/dojo.lfx.chain and dojo.lfx.Combine/dojo.lfx.combine have been replaced by dojo.fx.chain() and dojo.fx.combine() methods.
Other dojo.lfx code is being ported to the new Dojo core and will be renamed to simply dojo.fx. So far, this includes dojo.fx.wipeIn/Out methods and dojo.fx.slideTo. /* GeSHi (C) 2004 - 2007 Nigel McNie (http://qbnz.com/highlighter) */ .geshifilter {font-family: monospace;} .geshifilter .imp {font-weight: bold; color: red;} .geshifilter .kw1 {color: #000066; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .kw2 {color: #003366; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .kw3 {color: #000066;} .geshifilter .co1 {color: #009900; font-style: italic;} .geshifilter .coMULTI {color: #009900; font-style: italic;} .geshifilter .es0 {color: #000099; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .br0 {color: #66cc66;} .geshifilter .st0 {color: #3366CC;} .geshifilter .nu0 {color: #CC0000;} .geshifilter .me1 {color: #006600;} .geshifilter .re0 {color: #0066FF;}
var foo = dojo.fx.slideTo({ node: node, top:'500', left:'200', duration: 1000 }).play();
var wipeIt = dojo.fx.wipeOut({ node: node, duration:1000 }).play();
A Basic Toggle class exists in dojo.fx.Toggler, defaulting to fadeOut for .hide() and wipeIn for .show(): /* GeSHi (C) 2004 - 2007 Nigel McNie (http://qbnz.com/highlighter) */ .geshifilter {font-family: monospace;} .geshifilter .imp {font-weight: bold; color: red;} .geshifilter .kw1 {color: #000066; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .kw2 {color: #003366; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .kw3 {color: #000066;} .geshifilter .co1 {color: #009900; font-style: italic;} .geshifilter .coMULTI {color: #009900; font-style: italic;} .geshifilter .es0 {color: #000099; font-weight: bold;} .geshifilter .br0 {color: #66cc66;} .geshifilter .st0 {color: #3366CC;} .geshifilter .nu0 {color: #CC0000;} .geshifilter .me1 {color: #006600;} .geshifilter .re0 {color: #0066FF;}
var t = new dojo.fx.Toggler({ node: node,
            showDuration: 500, hideDuration:300
});  t.show(); /* time passes */ t.hide();
