FIGURE 10-13 Animation Properties Table
You can set the following animation properties:
Animation Name: Use the Animation Name pull-down list box to select
an available animation to insert and set up.
Sequence Qty: This property is automatically set when you select the
animation.
Frame Qty: This property is automatically set when you select the
animation.
Update: This property is automatically set when you select the
animation, but you can select an available update rate from the Update
pull-down list box to change this value.
Auto Repeat: Use the Auto Repeat pull-down list box to choose
whether an animation sequence will run only once (False) or will
automatically repeat (True).
User Variable #: To make an animation work, you must create a user
variable which is a formula that changes values from 1 to the number of
sequences in the animation. Animations have multiple (up to 32)
segments. Which segment is displayed at any particular time depends on
the value of this user variable. For example, when the value of the user
variable is 1, segment 1 is shown, when the value of the user variable is
2, segment 2 is shown, and so on. Use the User Variable # field to enter
the number of the user variable that determines which animation is
shown.
Top Position: Use this field to enter the top position (the number of
pixels from the top of the screen, under the toolbar) for the animation on
the custom overview screen.
Left Position: Use this field to enter the left position (the number of
pixels from the left of the screen) for the animation on the custom
overview screen.
