Automatic Animation

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 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 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.
