Timeline Overview
The timeline is an important aspect for animations on a slide. It moderates the amount of time that the animations are run from beginning to end. For example, it allows animation to be started when the slide is loaded or based on an event.
A timeline is composed of timing nodes that dictate at which point a certain animation is shown. A timeline can contain unlimited number of timing nodes; it can also have time nodes nested within them.
There are three types of time nodes:
Element |
Name |
Description |
par |
Parallel |
This is a parallel time node and can be activated along with other parallel time node containers. |
seq |
Sequence |
This is a sequence time node and it can only be activated when the one before it finishes. |
excl |
Exclusive |
This time node is used to pause all other timelines when it is activated. |
A conceptual diagram of this is shown below:
