AnimationLab is a set of components which enables time-line based animation and events with almost zero lines of code!

 

  • Create Time Lines
  • Link Components
  • Apply Effects

 

What can I build with AnimationLab?

AnimationLab allows you to create multiple timelines which can crontrol events on various components.  Use the power of the TimeLine component to create true four dimensional applications where time is the fourth dimension.  The timeline viewer allows you to easily visualize what is taking place and with one time line triggering another timeline the possibilities are endless.

Here is a demo from Code Rage which shows step by step how you can animate VLC & Firemonkey applications with Animation Lab:

 


Our component libraries come in 3 versions a VCL - Firemonkey version (for Delphi / C++ Builder / RAD Studio 10.3 or higher), an MFC compatible Visual C++ version, and a .NET 4.0 supporting Visual Studio 2005 or higher.
 
The RAD Studio version is a set of native VCL and Firemonkey components of which all include now the powerful Mitov Runtime.
 
The Visual C++ version is a set of native Visual C++ classes (components).
 
The NET 4.0 (4.5 and higher compatible) version is a set of managed .NET components.  The .NET version has the same performance as the native versions, and supports all the Microsoft .NET languages including Visual Basic, C#, J#, F# and C++/CLI.
 
Due to the unique architecture of the OpenWire platform, the components are implemented the same way in Managed .NET and native Windows (32 and 64 bit) environments. The code to control a component from VB.NET, C++/CLI, C#, and J#, Visual C++ MFC, Delphi, and C++ Builder is almost identical. This allows the developers to migrate and share code between the different environments thus significantly improving the productivity.
 
OpenWire Libraries: for fast, complex data stream processing with almost zero lines of code!
