Direction of animateTo

[Quammy]

Hi,

Great plugin!!!!

What about an ability to control the direction of the animation? Now it always animate from low degree to high clockwise and from high to low counter-clockwise. I would like to control that...

thanks.

Hello,

I'm not sure what are you talk about. Why would you like to animate counterclockwise from low degree to high one ? You can control it manually in current solution, for example:

Angle from : 50

Angle to : 10

Animation clockwise - just add 360 to second angle, or subtract 360 from first one

Another example:

Angle from 10

Angle to 50

Animation counterclockwise - just 360 to first angle, or subtract 360 from second one

I hope you get the idea. Setting "angle" parameter is never animated - it will directly set required angle. This way you can control what direction its animating.

Cheers,

Think of a compass. When the current angle is 350 and now the compass is changing position to 10, the arrow, using the command:

$("#arrow").rotate({
                animateTo: 10
            });

will go counterclockwise the complete circle instead of just moving clockwise and arrive to 10 faster (and more logical to the eye). I believe that with adding several conditions, your idea of adding 360  might work but I think it will be much easier if the option will exist.

thanks.
