Animation

The animation player works in concert with the following:

• Step/frame selector: Animated positions are displayed in the legend step/frame selector. Only computed frames are displayed in the selector (interpolated or scaled frames are not shown).
• X-Y Plots: X-Y Plots are synchronized with the current frame, highlighting the current value on the graph with a blue circle. However, the X-Y Plot does not animate dynamically.

The player might not always be available, depending on the type of content opened in Physics Simulation Review. A Play control is superimposed on the content type icon when animation is enabled.

You can control the animation using the following buttons in the interface:

Button	Description
	Go to Start Returns to the beginning of the scenario.
	Previous Frame Moves to the previous frame in the sequence.
	Pause/Continue Pauses the scenario.
	Play Forward Plays the scenario.
	Next Frame Moves to the next frame in the sequence.
	Go to End Moves to the end of the scenario.
	Loop Mode: Back & Forth Plays to the end, reverses, and repeats continuously.
	Loop Mode: Loop Plays to the end, restarts at the first frame, and repeats continuously.
	Loop Mode: One Shot Plays once from the current frame to the last frame.
	Changes animation speed. You can select a fractional speed factor of 1/8, 1/4, or 1/2 normal speed, as well as an integer multiplier of 1, 2, 4, or 8 times normal speed.
