     * <code>valueFrom</code> or <code>valueTo</code> is null, then a getter function will

     * <p>For best performance of the mechanism that calls the setter function determined by the
     * name of the property being animated, use <code>float</code> or <code>int</code> typed values,
     * and make the setter function for those properties have a <code>void</code> return value. This
     * will cause the code to take an optimized path for these constrained circumstances. Other
     * property types and return types will work, but will have more overhead in processing
