Animation GUI
Contents
Introduction
This help file explains how to use the AnimationGUI. The AnimationGUI helps you visualize and simulate objects in 3D. It allows you to play the animation forward and backward as well as pause it. You can zoom in and out as well as change the sampling rate to slow down or speed up the animation speed.
Getting Started
To run a demo animation, simply type AnimationGUI. This will allow you to get a feel for all the controls it has to offer.
