Set up height animation
Use the Height option on the Animation menu to change the height of an object as a tag value or the result of a logical expression changes. The height of the object is proportional to the value of the expression. For example, if the value of the expression is halfway between its minimum and maximum values, the height of the object will be halfway between its minimum and maximum vertical change percents. You can use objects with height animation to create a bar graph.
TIP:
If a group object and the objects within a group object have Height animation set up, animation results for the individual objects and the group are combined. Be sure to test group animation to ensure that it produces the effect you intend.
To set up height animation for an object:
- In theGraphicseditor, right-click the object and then clickAnimation>Height.
- In theAnimationdialog box, in theHeighttab, in theExpressionfield, type a tag name or an expression that will return numeric values at runtime.You can also clickTagto browse for a tag, or clickExpressionto open theExpressionEditorto create one.
