There are lots of curve objects in the mapping library for this. The
mapping lib works on all 0-1 range, so make your [line] generate a
ramp from 0 to 1 in the time you want. Then after the [line], use a
curve object. They are named after the shape and types of segment.
shape:
sigmoid (S-shaped)
seat (like you sit in)
types:
breakpoint
cubic
quartic
circular
elliptical
etc...
I'd start with [exponential_sigmoid]. You'll most likely want a
sigmoid shape for the accel/deccel pattern you describe.

Hi guys,
I'm working on a patch (rjdj scene) where I'm moving a little object
around on a plane. The object is been given random coordinates which
it is supposed to gradually move to in five seconds.
Right now my solution is to bang the x- and y-coordinates into a
line-object which works fine, but I'd prefer for the movement to be
more "natural". By natural I mean that the object accelerates in the
beginning and then decellerates near the end until it comes to a
full stop at the exact coordinates that where randomly produced..
I've been trying to get my head around a solution for quite a while
now, but unfortunately no luck so far.
I'm sure this must be simple stuff for some of you PD-geniuses out
there, and I'm hoping that one of you will stand up and show me how
it's done :)
Thanks in advance,
Thomas :)
