AnimatedPatchFormula

The Get->AnimatedPatchFormula command in the Motion module lets you include time as a variable in the system of equations, which allows precise control over the animation of a patch.

Procedure

1. Choose the Get->AnimatedPatchFormula command in the Motion module. The AnimatedPatchFormula dialogue box is displayed.
2. Set the parameters as desired.
3. Click Ok.

Parameters

The parameters are the same as in the Get->PatchFormula in the Model module.

The following parameters apply to this effect because it is animated:

Next, Previous, Delete, Key, and Frame

For the animated effects, Next advances to the next keyframe, Previous goes back to the previous keyframe, Delete removes a keyframe, and Key sets a keyframe at the frame you specify in the Frame text box. These controls can only be accessed after you have set the initial parameters in the dialogue box and clicked Ok. To return to the dialogue box and edit keyframes for the effect, select the effect icon and choose the Effects->Edit Parameters command in the Motion module.
