<brief_description>
Node useful for animations with unknown start and end points.
</brief_description>
<description>
Node useful for animations with unknown start and end points, procedural animations, making one node follow another, and other simple behavior.
Because it is easy to get it wrong, here is a quick usage example:
[codeblock]
var tween = get_node("Tween")
tween.interpolate_property(get_node("Node2D_to_move"), "transform/pos", Vector2(0,0), Vector2(100,100), Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN_OUT)
tween.start()
[/codeblock]
Some of the methods of this class require a property name. You can get the property name by hovering over the property in the inspector of the editor.
Many of the methods accept [code]trans_type[/code] and [code]ease_type[/code]. The first accepts an TRANS_* constant, and refers to the way the timing of the animation is handled (you might want to see [code]http://easings.net/[/code] for some examples). The second accepts an EASE_* constant, and controls the where [code]trans_type[/code] is applied to the interpolation (in the begining, the end, or both). If you don't know which transision and easing to pick, you can try different TRANS_* constants with EASE_IN_OUT, and use the one that looks best.

Returns true if any tweens are currently running, and false otherwise. Note that this method doesn't consider tweens that have ended.

Activate/deactivate the tween. You can use this for pausing animations, though [method stop_all] and [method resume_all] might be more fit for this.

<description>
Set the speed multiplier of the tween. Set it to 1 for normal speed, 2 for two times nromal speed, and 0.5 for half of the normal speed. Setting it to 0 would pause the animation, but you might consider using [method set_active] or [method stop_all] and [method resume_all] for this.

Returns the time needed for all tweens to end in seconds, measured from the start. Thus, if you have two tweens, one ending 10 seconds after the start and the other - 20 seconds, it would return 20 seconds, as by that time all tweens would have finished.
