Objects in an Animation View

POLKA provides three basic types of objects which are created and manipulated in a view to create an animation. A Loc is a logical ( x,y) position or location within an animation View. An AnimObject is a graphical object such as a line, circle or rectangle that changes to simulate animation. An Action is a typed change or modification, such as a movement along a path or a change to a different color. Below we describe each class in more detail.
