Animation

The Animation section of the <PresentationML> framework stores the movement and related information of objects.

This schema is loosely based on the syntax and concepts from the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL), a W3C Recommendation for describing multimedia presentations using XML.

The schema describes all the animations effects on that reside on a slide and also the animation that occurs when going from slide to slide (slide transition).

Animations on a slide are inherently time-based and consists of an animation effects on an object or text.. Slide transitions however do not follow this concept and always appear before any animation on a slide.

All elements described in this schema are contained within the slide XML file. More superficially they are in the <transition> and the <timing> element as shown below:

<p:sld>
  <p:cSld>...
  <p:clrMapOvr>...
  <p:transition>...
  <p:timing>...
</p:sld>
