## DESCRIPTION

The Animation Tool is a wxGUI component for animating a series of GRASS raster maps or a space time raster dataset (created by t.* modules).

Animation Tool allows to:

- display up to 4 synchronized animations
- control the animation speed
- interactively change active frame using a slider
- visualize space time datasets with unequally spaced intervals
- animate 3d view (partially implemented)

3D view animation enables to animate raster (as an elevation map or a color map) or vector map (points, lines). Internally, module m.nviz.image is used. To display 3D view animation follow these steps:

- open GRASS GUI, load maps and start 3D view
- set view, light and other parameters as you like
- save workspace file
- add new animation in Animation Tool, choose 3D view mode
- choose data (series of maps or space time dataset) used for animation
- set workspace file
- choose parameter (parameter of m.nviz.image) to animate (e.g. color_map)

## TODO

- export animation
- ...
