GeoGebra allows you to animate one or several free numbers and/or angles at the same time if they are shown as sliders in the Graphics View.
If you want to animate a free number or angle in GeoGebra, you need to right click (Mac OS: 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 un-check Animation On in the same Context Menu.
Note: After animating a free
number or a free angle, an animation button appears
in the lower left corner of the Graphics View. It allows you to either pause or
continue an animation.
In the Properties Dialog on tab Slider you can change the behavior of the animation:
On the one 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.
