# Traditional Curve

Traditional curves are mathematically described curves. A typical representative is the cubic Bezier curve. You define the curve shape with a set of control points, to bring out the expected animation effect, such as ease in and ease out. As aforementioned, a traditional curve is not based on the real-world behavior. This means that it does not change its shape to respond to user behavior, and lacks the natural and engaging feel given by a physics-based curve. When creating animations, prioritize physics-based curves and use traditional curves only in rare cases.


ArkUI provides APIs for traditional curves such as Bezier and step curves. For details, see [Interpolation Calculation](../reference/apis-arkui/js-apis-curve.md).


The following is an example of a traditional curve.



```ts
class MyCurve {
  public title: string;
  public curve: Curve;
  public color: Color | string;

  constructor(title: string, curve: Curve, color: Color | string = '') {
    this.title = title;
    this.curve = curve;
    this.color = color;
  }
}

const myCurves: MyCurve[] = [
  new MyCurve(' Linear', Curve.Linear, '#317AF7'),
  new MyCurve(' Ease', Curve.Ease, '#D94838'),
  new MyCurve(' EaseIn', Curve.EaseIn, '#DB6B42'),
  new MyCurve(' EaseOut', Curve.EaseOut, '#5BA854'),
  new MyCurve(' EaseInOut', Curve.EaseInOut, '#317AF7'),
  new MyCurve(' FastOutSlowIn', Curve.FastOutSlowIn, '#D94838')
]
