Automatic Animation

GeoGebra allows you to animate one or several numbers and/or angles at the same time.

 

If you want to animate a number or angle in GeoGebra, you need to right click (MacOS: Ctrl-click) on the number or angle and select ‘Animation On’ from the appearing Context Menu. In order to stop the animation, you need to uncheck ‘Animation On’ in the same Context Menu.

 

Note: After animating a number or an angle, a button appears in the lower left corner of the Graphics View. It allows you to either animate_pause.png pause or animate_play.png continue an animation.

 

In the Properties Dialog on tab ‘Slider’ you can change the behavior of the animation:

On the on hand, you may control the ‘Speed’ of the animation.

Note: A speed of 1 means that the animation takes about 10 seconds to run once through the interval of the slider.

On the other hand, you may change how the animation cycle is repeated:

·         <=> Oscillating:
The animation cycle alternates between ‘Decreasing’ and ‘Increasing’.

·         => Increasing:
The slider value is always increasing. After reaching the maximum value of the slider, it jumps back to the minimum value and continues the animation.

·         <= Decreasing:
The slider value is always decreasing. After reaching the minimum value of the slider, it jumps back to the maximum value and continues the animation.

 

Note: While an automatic animation is activated, GeoGebra remains fully functional. This allows you to make changes to your construction while the animation is playing.
