Basic Animation Controls

Basic animation controls

As well as the PLAY > and STOP controls in the State Display box the graphics window has a set of controls at its top left which can be used to control animation, and the state used for static display.

The master slider in the State Display panel controls all graphics windows for which its W n tabs are active.

The slider and associated controls at the top of a graphics window control that window only.

	STOP s the current animation.
	Starts animation (same as PLAY > )
	Jump straight to first or last frame
	Single step backwards ( |< ) and forwards ( >| )
The state slider allows you to scroll with the mouse to any state, and to slide dynamically through them.
If an animation is playing using any of these controls (other than PLAY ) will automatically stop it in order to execute the new commands.
