Animated graphics

Animated graphics are graphics whose values update in real-time. A graphic can be as simple as a single word of text (ON) or a number (72), or it can be an animated image (door opening). Widgets are animated by binding their properties to a legitimate data source.
For example, you connect numeric values to widget properties that use numeric values, and you connect binary values to objects that use binary values. By animating the properties of a widget, you control the text appearance of the image, as well as change a widget’s location on the page, and even its visibility.
