Overview of Object Animator (Object Animator)
Object Animator provides animation of object interactions that are defined in a Sequence Diagram.
By graphically representing objects and their interactions, you can explore and easily understand the sequences defined in a Sequence Diagram.
Object Animator is particularly useful for demonstrating Sequence Diagrams to users that do not understand the notation they use. Object Animator allows you to attach Screen Shots to objects so that the user can see the user interface in action.
Object Animator animates the interaction of the following objects:
Actor
System Boundary
Interface Device
Package
Part (Role or Attribute)
Port (Role or Attribute)
Subsystem
Instance
