Changing the animation speed or number of steps.

If you want to change the animation speed or increase/decrease the number of animation steps:

Open file animator_once.js in any text editor (or animator_repeat.js).
On line 20 find: Delay=20; Step=0.01;
Increasing the value of Delay = Slower animation (Delay=20 means 100 animations takes 3 seconds)
Decreasing the value of Step = More animation steps (Step=0.01 means 100 animations)
Save the file.

Now - just so you know - the original animator.js file contains more functions and a way to do sequential animations. I like really step-by-step directions. As I learn more and can explain it step-by-step, I will add to my help. Meanwhile - if you want to try it on your own - there is help here.

This is the animated ggb file used in the screencast.

If you have the pre-release of GeoGebra 3.1 installed, double-click on the activity below to open it your computer and follow along.

Our goal is to add a manual animator in the GeoGebra file and a toggle button for it in the webpage.

But - no worries - you can do everything in GeoGebra 3.0 EXCEPT the PRETTY CAPTION under the slider.

23 September 2008. To do this particular manual animation with the caption on the slider requires the pre-release of GeoGebra 3.1. All the other options are available in the released standard-for-use GeoGebra 3.
