<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

The <b>Animation Tool</b> is a <em><a href="wxGUI.html">wxGUI</a></em> component
for animating a series of GRASS raster maps or a space time raster dataset (created by t.* modules).

<p>
Animation Tool allows to:

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

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

</ul>
