FADE IN

The FADE IN command is a fundamental tool for creating smooth visual transitions, allowing you to gradually modulate the visibility of elements.

This command, in its basic form FADE IN, triggers a fade-in. If an element was previously invisible or partially transparent, this command will gradually make it more opaque until it reaches its full visibility.

Again, the speed of the transition is usually governed by preset parameters. An interesting variant of the FADE IN command appears in the syntax FADE IN palette, which finds application in scenarios where color management is done via palettes, typically in low-resolution graphic contexts or with a limited number of available colors. Instead of acting on opacity, this command initiates a gradual transition between an initial color palette and the specified palette, making the image emerge through a progressive transformation of its colors.

It is possible to combine this palette-based fade with a specific time duration using the syntax PERIOD time, where time defines the time frame within which the color transition from the initial palette to the desired one must be completed. Finally, for direct control over the duration of the opacity-based fade-in, the form FADE IN PERIOD time is used. In this syntax, the time parameter specifies the duration of the animation, determining the speed at which the element transitions from invisibility (or partial transparency) to full visibility.

Using these different forms command allows you to precisely orchestrate visual transition effects, contributing significantly to the quality and fluidity of the user experience in interactive applications.
