TV Switch-off
Like an old tube TV turning off: the picture flares bright as it collapses to a thin glowing line, the line pulls in to a dot, and the dot fades away.
How to use it
- Paste the snippet just before
</head>. - Add
data-tv-switch-offto any element. It looks best on a dark background, where the line and dot glow.
Options
Add any of these attributes to the same element.
data-line | How thick the line and dot are, in px. Default 3. |
data-flash | How bright it flares as it collapses. 1 for no flare. Default 4. |
data-duration | How long it takes to switch off. Default 700 ms. |
data-delay | How long it stays in view before it switches off. Default 1200 ms. |
data-loop | Switch back on, hold and switch off again. |
data-hold | How long it stays on between exits, when looping. Default 1400 ms. |
It plays once it has been in view for data-delay, and ends hidden (visibility: hidden) but still taking up its space. To play it when you choose, such as when something is dismissed, leave the attribute off and call animacious.tvSwitchOff(el). The flare uses a CSS filter, which the script clears when it switches back on.
