  <tmdoc-title|Animations>

  <TeXmacs> provides some rudimentary support for animations inside laptop
  presentations. This support is likely to be further improved in future
  <TeXmacs> distributions.

  The simplest animations are available from the menus
  <menu|Insert|Animation|Translate> and <menu|Insert|Animation|Progressive>.
  Using the first menu, it is possible to create moving content: you first
  specify a duration for the full animation and then enter the content which
  has to be moved. The different kinds of moving content are illustrated in
  figure<nbsp><reference|translate-fig>. Similarly, using the second menu, it
  is possible to create content which only progressively appears on the
  screen. The various kinds of progressive content are illustrated in
  figure<nbsp><reference|progressive-fig>. The duration of the animations can
  be <hlink|modified <em|a<nbsp>posteriori>|../editing/man-structured-geometry.en.tm>
  by putting your cursor inside them and using the shortcuts
  <shortcut|(geometry-left)> and<nbsp><shortcut|(geometry-right)>.

  Other basic animations are ``animated gif pictures'', which can be inserted
  from <menu|Insert|Animation|Animation>, and sounds, which can be inserted
  from <menu|Insert|Animation|Sound>. Support for movies should be added
  later.

  It is also possible to combine animation, so as to form larger animations.
  For instance, using <menu|Insert|Animation|Compose> you can play several
  animations one after another. Often the individual elements of a composed
  animations are fixed animation of a given duration, which can be inserted
  using <menu|Insert|Animation|Fixed>. Of course, you may also use moving or
  progressive content or even composed animations as building blocks. An
  animation can be repeated indefinitely using
  <menu|Insert|Animation|Repeat>. This may for instance be used to create a
  blinking effect. Some examples of the various possibilities can be found in
  figure<nbsp><reference|compose-fig>. <math|<rsub|>>
