# easeType

An option that describes the animation’s change in pace over time.

## Discussion

The default type is `none`, which is synonymous with linear timing.

### Ease Types

- `none`: Paces the action at a constant rate.
- `in`: Paces the action slower at the beginning.
- `out`: Paces the action slower at the end.
- `inout`: Paces the action slower at the beginning and end.

### Declaration

```other
uniform token easeType = "none"
```
