Geometry Explorer Help

Using the View Menu: Animation of Objects

(Back To Help Home)

A very nice way to visualize certain geometric objects is to animate their motion. Geometry Explorer has the capability of animating most any object that is constructed (e.g. points freely moving in the plane; points moving along curvilinear objects such as lines, rays, segments, arcs, and circles; points on area objects; parameter values changing continuously or discretely)   There are five menu items in the animate group that control animation:

Animate Object:

Speed Up Animation:

Slow Down Animation: Stop All Animators: Show Animation Panel:

Clicking on this menu item will bring up a dialog box where currently selected animated objects can be adjusted as to animation speed and direction.
