* effects that want a non-linear timeline. Currently, most
* it does is wrapping QTimeLine. In the future, this class
* could help using physics animations in KWin.
*
* KWin effects will usually use this feature by keeping one
* TimeLine per animation, for example per effect (when only
* one animation is done by the effect) or per windows (in
* the case that multiple animations can take place at the
* same time (such as minizing multiple windows with a short
* time offset. Increasing the internal time state of the
* TimeLine is done either by changing the 'current' time in
* the TimeLine, which is an int value between 0 and the
* duration set (defaulting to 250msec). The current time
* can also be changed by setting the 'progress' of the
* TimeLine, a double between 0.0 and 1.0. setProgress(),
* addProgress(), addTime(), removeTime() can all be used to
* manipulate the 'current' time (and at the same time
* progress) of the TimeLine.
*
* The internal state of the TimeLine is determined by the
* duration of the TimeLine, int in milliseconds, defaulting.
* the 'current' time and the current 'progress' are
* interchangeable, both determine the x-axis of a graph
* of a TimeLine. The value() returned represents the y-axis
* in this graph.
*
* m_TimeLine.setProgress(0.5) would change the 'current'
* time of a default TimeLine to 125 msec. m_TimeLine.value()
* would then return the progress value (a double between 0.0
* and 1.0), which can be lower than 0.5 in case the animation
* should start slowly, such as for the EaseInCurve.
* In KWin effect, the prePaintWindow() or prePaintScreen()
* methods have int time as one of their arguments. This int
* can be used to increase the 'current' time in the TimeLine.
* The double the is subsequently returned by value() (usually
* in paintWindow() or paintScreen() methods can then be used
* to manipulate windows, or their positions.
