Animation Grammar
Description
Animations in glyph are declarative state transitions, not
frame-by-frame rendering. You describe what changes and how it should
interpolate, and the renderer handles the rest.
Details
Two animation paradigms:
-
Transitions: animate between data states (e.g. year 2020 → 2021).
Marks morph smoothly, entering/exiting as data changes.
-
Entrances: animate marks appearing on first render (stagger bars
growing from zero, points fading in).
