title: "animateMoveTo"
description: "Move the trackpad from the [current position][TrackpadInjectionScope.currentPosition] to the
given [position], sending a stream of move events to get an animated path of [durationMillis]
milliseconds. [Move][moveTo] the trackpad to the desired start position if you want to start from
a different position. The [position] is in the node's local coordinate system, where (0, 0) is
the top left corner of the node.

Example of moving the trackpad along a line:"

```kotlin
fun TrackpadInjectionScope.animateMoveTo(
    position: Offset,
    durationMillis: Long = DefaultTrackpadGestureDurationMillis,
)
```


Move the trackpad from the `current position` to the
given `position`, sending a stream of move events to get an animated path of `durationMillis`
milliseconds. `Move` the trackpad to the desired start position if you want to start from
a different position. The `position` is in the node's local coordinate system, where (0, 0) is
the top left corner of the node.

Example of moving the trackpad along a line:

#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| position | The position where to move the trackpad to, in the node's local coordinate system |
| durationMillis | The duration of the gesture. By default 300 milliseconds. |

```kotlin
fun MouseInjectionScope.animateMoveTo(
    position: Offset,
    durationMillis: Long = DefaultMouseGestureDurationMillis,
)
```


Move the mouse from the `current position` to the given
`position`, sending a stream of move events to get an animated path of `durationMillis`
milliseconds. `Move` the mouse to the desired start position if you want to start from a
different position. The `position` is in the node's local coordinate system, where (0, 0) is the
top left corner of the node.

Example of moving the mouse along a line:

#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| position | The position where to move the mouse to, in the node's local coordinate system |
| durationMillis | The duration of the gesture. By default 300 milliseconds. |




## Code Examples
### mouseInputAnimateMoveTo
```kotlin
fun mouseInputAnimateMoveTo() {
    composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("myComponent").performMouseInput {
        // Hover over the node, making an X shape
        moveTo(topLeft)
        animateMoveTo(bottomRight)
        // Note that an actual user wouldn't be able to instantly
        // move from the bottom right to the top right
        advanceEventTime()
        moveTo(topRight)
        animateMoveTo(bottomLeft)
    }
}
```
### trackpadInputAnimateMoveTo
```kotlin
fun trackpadInputAnimateMoveTo() {
    composeTestRule.onNodeWithTag("myComponent").performTrackpadInput {
        // Hover over the node, making an X shape
        moveTo(topLeft)
        animateMoveTo(bottomRight)
        // Note that an actual user wouldn't be able to instantly
        // move from the bottom right to the top right
        advanceEventTime()
