Abstract
A first thread receives a start movement command and a parametric curve from a second thread in response to the second thread receiving an input to move an element that is rendered in an interface. The parametric curve defines parameters for movement of an element. The first thread calculates a positioning of the element on the interface using the parametric curve. Then, the first thread positions the element in the interface based on the positioning and continues to calculate the positioning and position the element in the interface using the parametric curve until a stop movement command is received from the second thread.
