Animation Tab (3D Chart Container)
The Animation tab parameters lets you to animate your chart. You can animate charts on
screen to reveal the elements, offscreen to remove the elements, or both. The parameters in
this tab do not include interpolation fields. Instead, the animation is applied progressively
using the setting in the Interpolation menu.
Parameter Description
Animation Time Controls how long each bar or pie chart section animates
during the effect, expressed as a percentage. This
parameter effects animations created with the Reveal
Shape, Fade, Scale, Position, Tumble, Spin, and/or Rotate
parameters.
When you set Animation Time in both tabs, the total
value should not exceed 100. If the total exceeds 100, the
setting in the Reveal tab takes precedence.
Overlap Time Sets the number of frames that each element is on screen
before the next element animates on or off. This value is
set as a percentage.
At a value of 100, each bar or pie chart section finishes
animating before the next element begins animating on or
offscreen.
At higher values, multiple elements animate at the same
time.
Interpolation menu Lets you set the interpolation for the animation as
follows:
Accelerate. Allows you to gradually accelerate the effect.
Decelerate. Allows you to gradually decelerate the effect.
Linear. Uses a constant speed, similar to the Linear
interpolation type.
Apply To menu Controls how the animation is applied. Select from the
following options:
Cells. Applies the animation to each cell. So the
animation applies to each individual bar or pie chart
section.
Rows. Applies the animation to each row in the chart.
Columns. Applies the animation to each column in the
chart.
