Animation Properties Help

This property page is where you script a sequence of animated camera movements.

The camera movements occur in the order the items are listed in the tree to the left.  The first item under the "Animation" part of the tree is where the camera starts from.
The camera can start from one of 9 positions.  Clockwise from top left, the positions are High Left, High, High Right, Left, Center, Right, Low Left, Low, Low Right.
The distance from the chart can be far, framed (means the chart fits in the camera view), or close.

 

The second and remaining items control where the camera moves to.  The speed of camera movement, can be set to fast, cruise (medium) or slow.


 

To add another camera movement, select the "Animation" item in the tree on the left, and then left click the "Add Animation Sequence" button.


As can be seen above, you can also select the animation type to use when the chart animates.  When you select "None', only the camera moves, but the chart does not.  "Twirling In" makes the chart bars or lines spin in from the right, and "Growing" makes them grow from 0% of their height to 100% of their height.

Press the "Ok" button to save your changes.
Otherwise select a different part of the tree to edit other properties.
