Hi,

I'm playing with ShapeBaseImge and I find this spin thread (up,down,full...). What's that? What's the use of it?

Thanks,

It's for use in Images that make use of a cyclical state when used - think of it as the spinning barrels on a minigun.

spinUp - the amount of time it takes for the animation to get to full speed. Spinning up, getting ready to fire.
fullSpeed - the actual firing stage of the animation, just loop this animation as long as the trigger is held down.
spinDown - the amount of time it takes for the barrels to stop spinning when trigger is released.
