# Clutter::Effect(3pm)

Clutter::Effect -  Simple animation functions Clutter::Effect contains a set of functions for simple, one-off animations involving a single actor. It is a convenience wrapper around the more complex an powerful animations objects, Clutter::Behaviour, Clutter::Alpha and Clutter::Timeline. Effects are created from a *template*, which binds a Clutter::Timeline and an *alpha function*, similarly to how Clutter::Alpha works. You can reuse a template for multiple animations. After you have created a Clutter::EffectTemplate you can call one of the simple class methods, providing the template object and the parameters for the animation. You can optionally pass a function reference, which will be invoked when the animation stops. Every Clutter::Effect class method returns a copy of the Clutter::Timeline used in the template, so you can control the animation with it.\
