Visible objects can be animated, providing an advanced level of control and customization to your pictures. Although what you see in the iFIX WorkSpace is an object performing an action, it is the object's properties that are animated, not the object itself. You animate object properties using the Animations dialog box. This dialog box, available for every object in iFIX, takes client data, finds its source, and then delivers output based on that source.
For more detailed information on animating objects, refer to the Animating Object Properties chapter.
