Below is a snippet of code from my custom button laf. The thing is that i want alpha to take values from range [0.5, 1.0], or some other values from range [0.0, 1.0]. I have managed to do that with the code below for a range [0.5, 1.0], but focusAlpha repeats itself for a while with the minimum value of 0.5 from a range [0.5, 1.0]. I know that is because focusAlpha = Math.abs(1.0f - (2*fraction)); where focusAlpha goes from 1.0 to 0.0 and back. But how to make alpha to take values from 1.0 to 0.5 and back without repeating the minimum value in between?

<br />
Timer FocusButtonTimer = new Timer(30, new ActionListener() {</p>
<p>            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {</p>
<p>                long currentTime = System.nanoTime() / 1000000;<br />
                long totalTime = currentTime - animationStartTime;<br />
                if (totalTime > animationDurationFocus) {<br />
                    animationStartTime = currentTime;<br />
                }<br />
                float fraction = (float) totalTime / animationDurationFocus;<br />
                fraction = Math.min(1.0f, fraction);</p>
<p>                focusAlpha = Math.abs(1.0f - (2*fraction));</p>
<p>                focusAlpha = Math.min(1.0f, focusAlpha);<br />
                focusAlpha = Math.max(0.5f, focusAlpha);</p>
<p>                c.repaint();<br />
            }<br />
        });<br />

I've solved it.

</p>
<pre class="bb-code-block">
Timer FocusButtonTimer = new Timer(30, new ActionListener() {

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

                long currentTime = System.nanoTime() / 1000000;
                long totalTime = currentTime - animationStartTime;
                if (totalTime > animationDurationFocus) {
                    animationStartTime = currentTime;
                }
                float fraction = (float) totalTime / animationDurationFocus;
                fraction = Math.min(1.0f, fraction);
               
                focusAlpha = Math.abs(1.0f - fraction);                           
                
                if (focusAlpha < 0.5f) {
                    focusAlpha = 1-focusAlpha;                 
                }
                              
                c.repaint();
            }
        });
