Animations

Creating Point Animation

To create a point animation, following these steps:

1. Select Animation->Point Animation from the menus, or click button in Plot toolbar to open Point Animation dialogbox.
2. Enter graph name in Name field; select an item in Coordinate Type drop-down listbox to indicate the coordinate system of the point; enter the expression of variable X in X(t) field, enter the expression of variable Y in Y(t) field; if current scene is 3D, enter the expression of variable Z in Z(t) field. Enter the minimum value of parameter t in Min t field; enter the maximum value of t in Max t field; the defaut value of steps of t is 20, you can modify it by clicking Options... item in Animation menu.
3. Click OK button.

Examples:
Some point animation examples are provided. You can find them in a directory in your setup path, setuppath\samples\animation.

Creating 2D Animation

To create a 2D function graph animation, following these steps:

1. If graphs created before are 2.5D or 3D, select File->New->2D Graph from the menus, or click button in Standard toolbar.
2. If current coordinate system is 2D Cartesian, select Animation ->2D Animation->Cartesian from the menus, or click button in Plot toolbar; If current coordinate system is polar, select Animation ->2D Animation->Polar from the menus, or click button in Plot toolbar.
3. Set some necessary options in 2D Function Graph Animation Properties dialogbox, and click OK button.

Examples:
Some 2D animation examples are provided. You can find them in a directory in your setup path, setuppath\samples\animation\2D.

Creating 2.5D Animation

To create a 2.5D function graph animation, following these steps:

1. If graphs created before are 2D or 3D, select File->New->2.5D Graph from the menus, or click button in Standard toolbar.
2. If current coordinate system is 2.5D Cartesian, select Animation->2.5D Animation ->Cartesian from the menus, or click button in Plot toolbar; If current coordinate system is polar, select Animation->2.5D Animation->Polar from the menus, or click button in Plot toolbar.
3. Set some necessary options in 2.5D Function Graph Animation Properties dialogbox, and click OK button.

Examples:
Some 2.5D animation examples are provided. You can find them in a directory in your setup path, setuppath\samples\animation\2.5D.

Creating 3D Animation

To create a 3D function graph animation, following these steps:

1. If graphs created before are 2D or 2.5D, select File->New->3D Graph from the menus, or click button in Standard toolbar.
2. If current coordinate system is 3D Cartesian, select Animation -> 3D Animation -> Cartesian from the menus, or click button in Plot toolbar; If current coordinate system is cylindrical, select Animation -> 3D Animation -> Cylindrical from the menus, or click button in Plot toolbar; If current coordinate system is spherical, select Animation -> 3D Animation -> Spherical from the menus, or click button in Plot toolbar.
3. Set some necessary options in 3D Function Graph Animation Properties dialogbox, and click OK button.
   Note: 3D graph includes 3D curve and 3D surface. The type of graph can be controlled by setting the options of Graph Type drop-down listbox in 3D Function Graph Animation Properties dialogbox.

Examples:
Some 3D animaiton examples are provided. You can find them in a directory in your setup path, setuppath\samples\animation\3D.
