What kind of value is keyTime in an CAKeyFrameAnimation?

Question

For example I have this CAKeyFrameAnimation:

CALayer* theLayer = myView.layer;
    CAKeyframeAnimation* animation;
    animation = [CAKeyframeAnimation animation         


        

Answer 1

The docs are phrased a little oddly here, but are accurate:

Each value in the array is a floating point number between 0.0 and 1.0 and corresponds to one element in the values array. Each element in the keyTimes array defines the duration of the corresponding keyframe value as a fraction of the total duration of the animation. Each element value must be greater than, or equal to, the previous value.

Basically, each value indicates at what normalized point in the animation the given keyframe occurs. So if a keyframe is 25% into the animation, the value would be 0.25. The confusing part of the docs is they indicate that it is a duration, when in fact it's a normalized point in time.
