Detailed Description

Class represents a basic animation class. AIS_Animation can be used as:

Animation Implementor Sub-classes should override method AIS_Animation::update() to perform specific animation. AIS package provides limited number of such animation atoms - classes AIS_AnimationObject and AIS_AnimationCamera, which could be enough for defining a simple animation. In general case, application is expected defining own AIS_Animation sub-classes implementing application-specific animation logic (e.g. another interpolation or another kind of transformations - like color transition and others). The basic conception of AIS_Animation::update() is defining an exact scene state for the current presentation timestamp, providing a smooth and continuous animation well defined at any time step and in any direction. So that a time difference between two sequential drawn Viewer frames can vary from frame to frame without visual artifacts, increasing rendering framerate would not lead to animation being executed too fast and low framerate (on slow hardware) would not lead to animation played longer than defined duration. Hence, implementation should avoid usage of incremental step logic or should apply it very carefully.
Animation Container AIS_Animation (no sub-classing) can be used to aggregate a sequence of Animation items (children). Each children should be defined with its own duration and start time (presentation timestamp). It is possible defining collection of nested AIS_Animation items, so that within each container level children define start playback time relative to its holder.
Animation playback Controller It is suggested that application would define a single AIS_Animation instance (optional sub-classing) for controlling animation playback as whole. Such controller should be filled in by other AIS_Animation as children objects, and will be managed by application by calling StartTimer(), UpdateTimer() and IsStopped() methods.

Note, that AIS_Animation::StartTimer() defines a timer calculating an elapsed time, not a multimedia timer executing Viewer updates at specific intervals! Application should avoid using implicit and immediate Viewer updates to ensure that AIS_Animation::UpdateTimer() is called before each redrawing of a Viewer content. Redrawing logic should be also managed at application level for managing a smooth animation (by defining a multimedia timer provided by used GUI framework executing updates at desired framerate, or as continuous redraws in loop).
