What is a good way to perform animation using .NET? I would prefer not to use Flash if possible, so am looking for suggestions of ways which will work to implement different types of animation on a new site I am producing. The new site is for a magician, so I want to provide animated buttons (Cards turning over, etc.) and also embed vi...
I understand how JS is run and I think I understand most of the DOM but I've no idea about animation. Does anybody here know of a good guide that can explain to me how it's done in Javascript? In addition, should I even consider Javascript for animation? Should I instead be looking to learn flash? ...
Imagine you want to animate some object on a WinForm. You setup a timer to update the state or model, and override the paint event of the Form. But from there, what's the best way to continually repaint the Form for the animation? Invalidate the Form as soon as you are done drawing? Setup a second timer and invalidate the form on a reg...
I'm trying to create web applications that use Javascript. I'd like to be able to use animation in these applications. I've tried to use basic Javascript, but I've decided that the best thing to do is to use a library (such as YUI or JQuery). I'm running into a problem. On Safari, when I run animation scripts, the animation is very c...
What would be the best way to draw a simple animation just before showing a modal JDialog? (i.e. expanding borders from the mouse click point to the dialog location). I thought it would be possible to draw on the glasspane of the parent frame on the setVisible method of the dialog. However since the JDialog is modal to the parent, I coul...
I would like to flash a success message on my page. I am using the jQuery fadeOut method to fade and then remove the element. I can increase the duration to make it last longer, however this looks strange. What I would like to happen is have the element be displayed for five seconds, then fade quickly, and finally be removed. How can ...
I keep running across this loading image http://georgia.ubuntuforums.com/images/misc/lightbox_progress.gif which seems to have entered into existence in the last 18 months. All of a sudden it is in every application and is on every web site. Not wanting to be left out is there somewhere I can get this logo, perhaps with a transparent...
I have a simple WPF (XAML) file that has some animated shapes and text. The animation has no interactive behavior. I want to record this animation as a video file that I later intend to use as the "intro" screen to a screencast. What I think I need: C# code that takes an input XAML file and spits out a high quality WMV at (for example a...

I am required to display a two dimensional numpy.array of int16 at 20fps or so. Using Matplotlib's imshow chokes on anything above 10fps. There obviously are some issues with scaling and interpolation. I should add that the dimensions of the array are not known, but will probably be around thirty by four hundred. These are data from a ...
I have this bit of javascript written with jQuery 1.2.5. It's contained inside the main function() of a plugin that I wrote. The plugin is a horizontal gallery scroller very similar to jCarousel. It does alot of auto calculating of widths and determines how many to scroll based on that and the size of the images, which is what all the...

We have a Silverlight 2 project (game) that will require a lot of character animation. Can anyone suggest a good way to do this. Currently we plan to build the art in Illustrator, imported to Silverlight via Mike Snow's plug-in as this matches the skills our artists have. Is key framing the animations our only option here? And if it ...
Does anyone have any examples or resources where i might find information on scrolling text which is too long to display in a button control? I'm thinking something along these lines. Display as much text will fit within the current rect with a '...' at the end to signify overflow. Pause for say 1 second then slowly scroll the text to...

I've created some fairly simple XAML, and it works perfectly (at least in KAXML). The storyboards run perfectly when called from within the XAML, but when I try to access them from outside I get the error: 'buttonGlow' name cannot be found in the name scope of 'System.Windows.Controls.Button'. I am loading the XAML with a stream read...
What are ways to draw animations in C++? GDI+? OpenGL? Would you recommend a class pattern in particular to get the drawing and redrawing done? Do you know of any open source project where animations are made so I can take a peek at the code? Where would you start if you wanted to code geometrical animations? Do you know of any good l...
I just got started using Adobe Flex SDK. I was very excited because it's the first time I've found a good, free way to create Flash applications. But then I noticed something: Flex doesn't seem to be much about making animations or designs. It seems more like an application to build forms and menus and the like... which I can already ...
Is there an animation format supported in QT (using v4.4) that will support a full alpha channel? GIF only has one-bit transparency, and I don't think QT supports APNG. Update: MNG seems to be supported, but that's even less popular than APNG! Maybe SVG is my best bet. ...
