The default value is {x=0, y=0, w=1, y=1}, i.e. the sprite is mapped to \nthe entire span of the image frame.\nNote that if any edge of the specified UV rectangle falls outside the sprite frame, then \nthe UV wrapping mode of the sprite's Atlas object comes into play. Generally speaking, \nif you want to exploit UV wrapping, you must set the UV wrapping mode explicitly. \nFor example::\nlocal s = director:createSprite(0, 0, \"textures/testbox64.png\")\n-- Ensure texture is set to repeat (wrap)\ns:getAtlas():setTextureParams(\"GL_LINEAR\", \"GL_LINEAR\", \"GL_REPEAT\", \"GL_REPEAT\")\n-- Repeat image twice along each axis\ns.uvRect = {0, 0, 2, 2}\nNote that the sprite's w and h values correspond to the size of the sprite frame multiplied \nby the u and v span respectively. Hence in the example above, if the bitmap is 64x64 pixels, \nthe w and h of the sprite will both be 128.\nNote also that many GPUs can only wrap textures if the bitmap dimensions are powers of 2. \nQuick will throw a warning if you attempt to wrap a texture that does not have power-of-2 \ndimensions.\nuvRect values can be tweened to create interesting UV animation effects. For example::\nlocal s = director:createSprite(0, 0, \"textures/testbox64.png\")\ns:getAtlas():setTextureParams(\"GL_LINEAR\", \"GL_LINEAR\", \"GL_REPEAT\", \"GL_REPEAT\")\nlocal tw = tween:to(s, {mode=\"repeat\", time=1, uvRect={x=1})\nThe box will scroll to the left indefinitely (we could use tw:cancel() to stop it).",

description = "Tween a series of node properties over time.\nThe final property values are specified in the params table. To customize the\ntween, you can optionally specify the following non-animating properties in params:\n* params.time (number) - The duration of the tween, in seconds. Default value is 0.5. The duration refers\nto the length of a 'cycle'; see the 'mode' parameter below.\n* params.delay (number) - Any delay in seconds before the tween begins. Default value is 0. If this value is\ngreater than 0, then this period must elapse before any properties start tweening. The 'onStart' callback\nis called only when this period has elapsed.\n* params.delta (boolean) - Whether or not to interpret the specified values as absolute, or relative to the\ncurrent values. The default is false, meaning absolute values. If true, the 'current' values are those\nat the point at which any 'delay' period has elapsed.\n* params.mode (string) - Can be 'clamp', 'repeat' or 'mirror'. The default value is 'clamp'.\n* \"clamp\" - The interpolation value moves from 0 (after any 'delay') to 1 \n(after a further 'time'), whereby any 'onComplete' callback is fired. The function \n'isComplete()' will return true only after this point. The interpolation stays at 1 after \nthis point.\n* \"repeat\" - The interpolation value moves from 0 (after any 'delay') to 1 (after a further \n'time'), whereby any 'onComplete' callback is fired. The interpolation value then starts \nagain at 0, and moves to 1 after a further 'time'; i.e. it continually cycles with a \nperiod of 'time'. The 'onComplete' callback fires after each period. The function \n'isComplete()' NEVER returns true.\n* \"mirror\" - Like \"repeat\", except that the interpolation value alternately ramps up to 1 \nand back down to 0 for each pair of cycles (as opposed to ramping to 1 and then \nimmediately jumping back to 0). For each odd-numbered cycle, the interpolation value \nis (1-r), where r is the value that would be generated from the corresponding \"repeat\" \nmode. The 'onComplete' callback fires after each period. The function 'isComplete()' \nNEVER returns true.\n* params.easing (function) - The tween easing function. Default value is ease.linear. Easing functions\nallow the properties to be animated in a non-linear fashion, for example to slow down at the start or\nend of the animation period. A full list of easing functions is provided above.\n* params.easingValue (number) - The tween easing value. Depending on the easing function being used,\nthis value can affect the 'strength' of the function, for example the degree to which the animation\nspeeds up or slows down at the start or end of the period. Default value depends on the easing function.\n* params.onStart (function or table) - A function or table listener called before the tween \nbegins. Table listeners must have an 'onStart' method. When invoked, the listener function is\npassed the tween's owning node as an input. The 'onStart' listener is called only once any 'delay'\nperiod has elapsed.\n* params.onComplete (function or table) - A function or table listener called after the \ntween completes. Table listeners must have an 'onComplete' method. When invoked, the listener function is\npassed the tween's owning node as an input. The 'onComplete' listener is called at the end of each\ntween 'cycle': if mode is 'clamp', there is only a single cycle, otherwise cycles repeat indefinitely with\nthe period specified by 'time'.\nExample::\nlocal mySprite = director:createSprite(0, 0, \"textures/beachball.png\")\n-- Animate x and alpha properties, over 1 second, after a delay of 0.5 seconds, with the \"powIn\" easing function\ntween:to(mySprite, { time=1, transition=ease.powIn, delta=0.5, x=100, alpha=0 } )\nDifferent 'modes' can be combined with different easing functions to create standard waves. \nFor example:\n* mode=\"repeat\", easing=ease.linear -- sawtooth wave\n* mode=\"mirror\", easing=ease.linear -- triangle wave\n* mode=\"mirror\", easing=ease.zero -- square wave\nAny target value specified in the tween parameters must exist on the target object. Values can \nbe of type 'number' or 'table'. If of type 'table', the table must include values of type \n'number' and exist on the target object.\nExamples:\n* x=10 (type number)\n* xScale=2 (type number)\n* color={r=0} (type table, containing type number)\n* color={r=0, g=255} (type table, containing type number)\n* uvRect={x=1} (type table, containing type number)",
