Animating graphic objects


For more information about creating expressions, see Chapter 14,
Creating expressions.
Expression Result
Specify how the object’s appearance should change based on the result
of the expression. The fields in this area change for each type of
animation.
For some types of animation, you have to specify a change of state.
For example, an object with visibility animation will switch between
visible and invisible.
For other types of animation, you have to specify a range of motion.
For example, an object will move from a fixed starting point to a fixed
end point. The range of motion is related to the minimum and
maximum values for the expression. The object moves from the At
Minimum position to the At Maximum position as the expression
value changes to the maximum value.
Minimum and Maximum Values
If you do not want to use the values set for the tag in the Tag Database
editor, specify minimum and maximum values. If a value falls outside
the specified range, it will be evaluated as either the minimum or
maximum value. If you do not specify minimum and maximum values,
RSView32
™ uses the minimum and maximum values for the first tag
in the expression. For details, see “Setting minimum and maximum
values” on page 12-8.
Apply, Delete, and Close Buttons
These buttons do the following:
Apply: Applies and validates the animation configured for the
selected object or group of objects. Choosing another tab is the
same as choosing Apply—the animation you have configured is
applied to the object and validated.
Delete: Deletes the animation for the selected object.
