Animation Trigger Events

RapidSVG supports both time-based and event-based methods of beginning or ending an animation. The developer has a variety of options for determining how each animation will be triggered at runtime. The developer may configure an animation to start or end after a certain number of seconds have elapsed, or when a particular mouse click or keystroke action is performed by the end user, or even upon the beginning, end, or repeat of another animation.

Animation Speed Control

The developer may specify varying acceleration and/or deceleration speeds for an animation. For a selected animation, RapidSVG’s Key Spline Editor illustrates the defined animation speed as a spline (i.e., curved line), which may be manipulated by the developer. By customizing the shape of the spline, the developer may specify an animation speed that alternately accelerates and decelerates. The animation may maintain a constant speed, start slowly and then get progressively faster, start quickly and then get progressively slower, start slowly and then speed up and then slow down again, etc.

Interactive SVG Objects

RapidSVG provides a drag-and-drop palette of Interactive SVG Objects, including Hyperlink, Check Box, Radio Button, Combo Box, Validation Field, Text Field, and Instruction Box. These are ready-made user interface objects that enable the creation of unique, interactive SVG content.

Navigational Hyperlinks

Navigational Hyperlinks

RapidSVG’s Hyperlink object enables the developer to add different types of interactive links and other buttons to an SVG page. Hyperlinks can be configured to serve as links between SVG pages in order to facilitate navigation through the various pages of the project. They can also serve as exhibit buttons for displaying pop-up text/images and as validation buttons for validating runtime text entries. In addition, Hyperlinks can be configured as links to external files, SVG pages, and Web pages.
