I'm working on creating gauges for displaying boring data in a more exciting way... I'm aiming to change the color of the gauge to some color that corresponds with the value. I can do this instantly with the simple CSS value of {-webkit-filter: hue-rotate(180deg);} but I would much rather have the colors fade through different areas of the spectrum before reaching the correct hue that matches the gauge value. However, when I use a TweenMax.to animation it doesn't step through the different degree values and instead changes instantly..... Below is my tween.

 

TweenMax.to($(gaugeId), 3.5, {filter:'hue-rotate(' + hue + 'deg)', delay: 1});

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

~Mike

Hi Mike,

 

When I first read your post I didn't see that you were using the filter property. We currently don't support css filters. 

 

If I were using hsl() color on a background I would tween the hue of a generic object and manually apply the value onUpdate like so:

 

//generic color object
var color = {hue:0}
var redBox = $("#redBox")[0];


TweenMax.to(color, 4, {hue:360, onUpdate:applyHue, onUpdateParams:[redBox], repeat:-1});




function applyHue(element) {
  element.style.backgroundColor = "hsl(" + color.hue + ", 100%, 50%)"
}

Perhaps you can use the same technique with the filter. 

 

I'd say, fork the pen and give it a shot. If you get it to work please let us know.
