## Detailed Description

NumberAnimation is a specialized PropertyAnimation that defines an animation to be applied when a numerical value changes.

Here is a NumberAnimation applied to the `x` property of a Rectangle as a property value source. It animates the `x` value from its current value to a value of 50, over 1000 milliseconds:

     import QtQuick

     Rectangle {
         width: 100; height: 100
         color: "red"

         NumberAnimation on x { to: 50; duration: 1000 }
     }

Like any other animation type, a NumberAnimation can be applied in a number of ways, including transitions, behaviors and property value sources. The Animation and Transitions in Qt Quick documentation shows a variety of methods for creating animations.

Note that NumberAnimation may not animate smoothly if there are irregular changes in the number value that it is tracking. If this is the case, use SmoothedAnimation instead.

## Property Documentation

### from : real

This property holds the starting value for the animation.

For example, the following animation is not applied until the `x` value has reached 100:

     Item {
         states: [
             // ...
         ]

         transitions: Transition {
             NumberAnimation { properties: "x"; from: 100; duration: 200 }
         }
     }

If the NumberAnimation is defined within a Transition or Behavior, this value defaults to the value defined in the starting state of the Transition, or the current value of the property at the moment the Behavior is triggered.

See also Animation and Transitions in Qt Quick.

### to : real

This property holds the end value for the animation.

If the NumberAnimation is defined within a Transition or Behavior, this value defaults to the value defined in the end state of the Transition, or the value of the property change that triggered the Behavior.
