How to Create Animations in Integration Designer

This document provides a step-by-step guide for creating animations in Integration Designer, focusing on developing a "Please Wait" page using an image list and animation driver.

Animation Driver and Graphics Creation

  • Download the animation driver from the RTI forum and place it in an accessible directory.
  • Create or source graphics for the animation, preferably in PNG format for transparency. Each image represents a frame in the animation sequence.

Image List Creation and XML Management

  • Construct an image list using an XML file, following a specific naming convention (e.g., HOUR1^#HIDE.png).
  • The XML file must include declarations and group elements, with proper closing tags to ensure functionality.

Importing and Configuring the Animation

  • Import the image list into Integration Designer by setting the directory and selecting the image in the bitmap library.
  • Configure the animation driver properties, including total frames, start frame, and frame speed, to control the animation's timing and flow.

Macro Programming

  • Program a macro to initiate the animation during system calibration, applying it to relevant activities and rooms to enhance user experience.
