  • Abstract
    The Proof Animation 2.1 product family provides our customers with the tools for animating a vast array of applications. There is a version of Proof Animation to meet any need, from small and mid-sized projects to large scale applications. This product family runs on readily available, inexpensive PC hardware without the need for special hardware. Proof Animation is ASCII file-driven and features a general purpose design. Its vector-based geometry provides a large animation canvas with the ability to zoom in or out while maintaining crisp, clear images. Proof Animation´s features include post-processing for maximum performance, built-in drawing tools and CAD import/export for ease of creating animation layouts, dynamic bar graphs and plots used for displaying statistics, a multi-windowing display, and a unique presentation-making capability. Because of its open architecture, Proof Animation can serve as the animation tool for models written in a wide variety of simulation and programming languages while remaining easy to use. Proof Animation´s user interface is menu-based and can be accessed using either a mouse or keyboard. Its superior power and performance assures smooth, realistic motion for animations regardless of the size, complexity, or application
