Animations

• SVG graphics can be animated :
• either by the SVG animation elements
• or by the DOM interface
The SVG animation elements have been developed in collaboration with the SYMM working group which defines the SMIL language
• SVG supports four animation elements which are common with SMIL 2.0 ( not yet finalized )
• animate

allow the change in time of scalar attributes and of properties
• set

short cut to set animation values and non numerical attributes or properties
• animateMotion

moves an element along a path
• animateColor

modifies the color of attributes or properties along time
