Animating a Chart control

1. Display the description window of Chart control.
2. In the "Details" tab:
   • In the "Animations" area, check "Enable the animations". In the "Animations" area, check "Enable the animations".
3. Validate the description window of control.

• This option is available for the following types of charts:
  • Area, Bubble, Line, Donut, Bar, Pie.
• The animation performed on the Chart controls depends on the type of chart displayed. This animation cannot be configured.
• By default, the animation of a Chart control lasts 30 milliseconds.
• If a Chart control is animated, the animation will also be performed when the chart is drawn further to a change of value (grDraw).
• grDraw is not a locking function. If he chart is drawn with an animation, the function will give control back as soon as the animation starts. Therefore, if several charts are drawn in the same window, the controls can be animated simultaneously.
• The Chart controls created from version 19 are animated by default.

Modifying or deleting the animation by programming

• Find out and modify the duration of the animation performed in a Chart control.
  
  // Increase the time-out
  CHART_MyChart..AnimationDuration = 2000
  
• Canceling the animation of a Chart control. To do so, change the duration of the animation and give it a null value.
  
  // Temporarily stops the animation
  CHART_MyChart..AnimationDuration = 0
