Animation
The animation feature sequentially highlights the values of a single variable. The variable’s values highlight
in the data table. However, patterns are more interesting if you first create a plot and then animate a variable
using the Data Filter to see how it behaves on the plot.
To use the animation feature, from the red triangle menu next to Data Filter, select Animation. Then select
the variable that you want to animate. The highlighted frame around the variable indicates which variable is
selected for animation.
Figure 9.13 Animation Control Panel in the Data Filter
The Animation Control panel (Figure 9.13) has these controls:
• The middle button ( ) starts and stops the animation. After you start the animation cycles, the button
changes to a stop button ( ). By default the animation begins with the first value of the topmost
variable.
• The backward arrow ( ) moves the animation backward one cycle. Click more than once to go
backward more than one cycle.
