Class AnimationFacade

java.lang.Object

com.inubit.research.animation.AnimationFacade

All Implemented Interfaces:

IAnimationListener

public class AnimationFacade
extends java.lang.Object
implements IAnimationListener

The animation Facade hides animation details. It can be used to easily animate objects and state changes within a processEditor. If necessary the underlying animator can be accessed directly e.g. to perform large animations.
