Animate a plot graph

[andrew usherParticipant]

Hi there,

I have just started using the software and really impressed.
We are using it to plot some sports science research, HR, Oxygen levels, etc.

What would be nice would be to animate the Hr etc over time.

Is that best done with a mask, or a reveal as having hard time working out best way to achieve this.

Many Thanks,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Welcome to our forum!

If you are using line plots (e.g., Plot command) animating with a mask can be jittery as each point is ‘unmasked’ and the line jumps when you have space between points.

Using a reveal would be the way to go, as the line is drawn but just not shown until the animation variable moves along.

If you look in the on-line examples, the Simple animation example may be helpful.

Just in case you have not seen this, we did a webinar on animation last year where we used a line graph example:

Here is where we talk about using a reveal:

Here is a screen shot of the example file …  Does this help you?
