How do we do the smooth animation. I have the code as below.

ThicknessAnimation anima = 
    new ThicknessAnimation(new Thickness(0), new Thickness(0, 25, 0, 0), 
        new Duration(new TimeSpan(0, 0, seconds)), FillBehavior.HoldEnd);                  

pdRod.BeginAnimation(Border.MarginProperty, anima);

Its working, but not smooth enough. How to do it smooth?

Thanks,

  • Researching I found this: https://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/Q454031/wpf-modify-built-in-animations-thread-priority It worked wonders for me. – Andrew Nov 25 '19 at 08:22

To do this in code, you would use the Timeline.SetDesiredFrameRate(Timeline,int?) method, like this:

ThicknessAnimation anim = ...;
Timeline.SetDesiredFrameRate(anim, 60); // 60 FPS

Passing null for the second argument tells the system to control the frame rate.

    For me setting `Timeline.DesiredFrameRate` on `Animation` didn't work. I had to set it on my `Storyboard` instead. – ghord Dec 31 '14 at 08:53

If you are using StoryBoard, use Timeline.DesiredFrameRate attached property.

Try to adjust the attached property Timeline.DesiredFrameRate to your needs. An higher framerate will reduce the tearing you might see.
