scalling an object smoothly over time

[newbiSoso]

I have a rectangle where it's width increases to reach a certain value within 30 seconds, I wrote this which works fine but it's width increases in pulses ones every second:

Timer{
    id: time
    interval: 1000; running: true; repeat: true
    onTriggered: 
         rect.width = ((outerRect.width * parseInt(time_val.text))/30) - (time_val.width/2)
}

what can I do to make it scale up smoothly?

hi @newbisoso

inside your Rectangle write the following:

Behavior on width {
        NumberAnimation { duration: 1000 }
    }

@newbisoso said in scalling an object smoothly over time:

pulses ones every second

that is because you have an interval of 1000ms on the Timer, reducing the interval will make transition smoother
but what @J-Hill suggested is probably more suited.
