thanks again for your response :)
yes you're right i'm doing the work with python.
i'm using the new implicit animation API now, it is much more convenient
overall.
but there is one problem remaining: how can i make the animation loop
infinitely? i tried:
<<<
def rotate(self):
self.save_easing_state()
self.set_easing_duration(self.y_duration)
self.set_easing_mode(Clutter.AnimationMode.EASE_IN_OUT_QUAD)
self.set_rotation(Clutter.RotateAxis.Y_AXIS, 360.0, 0, 0, 0)
self.restore_easing_state()
self.get_transition("rotation-angle-y").set_repeat_count(-1)
>>>
which will rotate the actor only once.
cheers,
moritz
