  <div class="explanation">
    <p>This example illustrates, by way of a color chart representation, how the <code>acceleration</code> and <code>deceleration</code> set-get properties of the <a href="../reference/Uize.Fade.html"><code>Uize.Fade</code></a> class shape a fade's curve over the course of its progress. In the example, a color is being faded from one to another over a series of swatches, from left to right. The color chart lets you visualize how different acceleration and deceleration settings for a fade could be used to generate color gradients with varying characteristics. This example also illustrates how the <code>Uize.Fade</code> class can be used for non-time based fades.</p>
