Example: Animation Evaluation

Example: You have a rectangle drawn on the canvas and want to cycle through a sequence of Fill colors, if the data point does not have a value, then nothing displays.

 

  1. Select the element on the canvas.
  2. In the Evaluation Editor, do the following:
    a. From the Property drop-down menu, select: Fill
    b. From the Type drop-down menu, select: Animated
  3. From System Browser, in the Expression field, drag-and-drop the data point, for example, a Binary Output.
  4. Next to the Off frame, in the Value field, leave the Value field blank.
  5. Click to add a new evaluation line, In the Value field, type the name of the color you would like to display in that interval. Repeat for each subsequent frame.
    NOTE: You can also drag-and-drop Symbols in each Value field, instead of a color and the cycle through the Symbol images.
  6. Adjust the Animation Interval as needed.
