## API Reference

### styleLocalOf

> Source set: Common

```kotlin
public fun <T> styleLocalOf(
    name: String,
    interpolate: (a: T, b: T, t: Float) -> T = ::defaultInterpolate,
    defaultValue: () -> T,
): ProvidableStyleProperty<T>
```

Creates a new local style property.

Local style properties inherit their values down the layout tree hierarchy.

Defining a local style property using [styleLocalOf](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.foundation/foundation/functions/styleLocalOf/api) produces a style property that will use a
jump-cut halfway through the animation (except if the type implements `Interpolatable` as
described below). Use the `interpolate` instead in order to specify the interpolation function to
use for an animatable property.

If the type supports `Interpolatable`, such as `Brush`, [styleLocalOf](/jetpack-compose/androidx.compose.foundation/foundation/functions/styleLocalOf/api) will use the
`Interpolatable` implementation instead of a jump-cut.

#### Parameters

| name | debug/tooling name for the property |
