        | ArcMotion | A PathMotion that generates a curved path along an arc on an imaginary circle containing
 the two points. |  
        | PatternPathMotion | A PathMotion that takes a Path pattern and applies it to the separation between two points. |  | 
  
  
  
    
  This base class can be extended to provide motion along a Path to Transitions.
 
 Transitions such as ChangeBounds move Views, typically
 in a straight path between the start and end positions. Applications that desire to
 have these motions move in a curve can change how Views interpolate in two dimensions
 by extending PathMotion and implementing getPath(float, float, float, float).
 
 This may be used in XML as an element inside a transition.
 
 <changeBounds>
     <pathMotion class="my.app.transition.MyPathMotion"/>
 </changeBounds>

Public methods
    getPath
    
public abstract Path getPath (float startX, 
                float startY, 
                float endX, 
                float endY)
    
    
    
  Provide a Path to interpolate between two points (startX, startY) and
 (endX, endY). This allows controlled curved motion along two dimensions.
    
    | Parameters | 
|---|
      
        | startX | float: The x coordinate of the starting point. | 
      
        | startY | float: The y coordinate of the starting point. | 
      
        | endX | float: The x coordinate of the ending point. | 
      
        | endY | float: The y coordinate of the ending point. | 
    
    
      | Returns | 
|---|
      
        | Path | A Path along which the points should be interpolated. The returned Path
 must start at point (startX, startY), typically usingPath.moveTo(float, float)and end at(endX, endY). |
