## Class KeyFrame

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.animation.KeyFrame

-     public final class KeyFrame
      extends Object

  Defines target values at a specified point in time for a set of variables that are interpolated along a `Timeline`.

  The developer controls the interpolation of a set of variables for the interval between successive key frames by providing a target value and an `Interpolator` associated with each variable. The variables are interpolated such that they will reach their target value at the specified time. An `onFinished` function is invoked on each `KeyFrame` if one is provided. A `KeyFrame` can optionally have a `name`, which will result in a cuepoint that is automatically added to the `Timeline`.

  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

    `Timeline`, `KeyValue`, `Interpolator`

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getTime

          public Duration getTime()

      Returns the time offset of this `KeyFrame`. The returned `Duration` defines the time offset within a single cycle of a `Timeline` at which the `KeyValues` will be set and at which the `onFinished` function variable will be called.

      The `time` of a `KeyFrame` has to be greater than or equal to `Duration.ZERO` and it cannot be `Duration.UNKNOWN`. Note: While the unit of `time` is a millisecond, the granularity depends on the underlying operating system and will in general be larger. For example animations on desktop systems usually run with a maximum of 60fps which gives a granularity of ~17 ms.

      Returns:
        the time offset

    - #### getValues

          public Set<KeyValue> getValues()

      Returns an immutable `Set` of `KeyValue` instances. A `KeyValue` defines a target and the desired value that should be interpolated at the specified time of this `KeyFrame`.
      Returns:
        an immutable `Set` of `KeyValue` instances

    - #### getOnFinished

          public EventHandler<ActionEvent> getOnFinished()

      Returns the `onFinished` event handler of this `KeyFrame`. The `onFinished` event handler is a function that is called when the elapsed time on a cycle passes the specified time of this `KeyFrame`. The `onFinished` function variable will be called if the elapsed time passes the indicated value, even if it never equaled the time value exactly.
      Returns:
        the `onFinished` event handler

    - #### getName

          public String getName()

      Returns the `name` of this `KeyFrame`. If a named `KeyFrame` is added to a `Timeline`, a cuepoint with the `name` and the `time` of the `KeyFrame` will be added automatically. If the `KeyFrame` is removed, the cuepoint will also be removed.
      Returns:
        the `name`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a string representation of this `KeyFrame` object.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        the string representation

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Returns a hash code for this `KeyFrame` object.
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        the hash code

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals​(Object obj)

      Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one. Two `KeyFrames` are considered equal, if their `time`, `onFinished`, and `values` are equal.
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        `true` if this is the same as obj, otherwise `false`
