Subtopic: computer animation 
| Quote: use Sketchpad to animate a face or pedal a bike [»suthIE5_1963]

Subtopic: animating programs and algorithms
| Quote: with Balsa can animate programs for illustration, learning program properties, or for experimentation [»browMH1_1985]
| | Quote: scripting in Balsa was originally for demos but became important for developing worked-out examples, visualizations, and dynamic modes [»browMH1_1985]
| | Quote: explore computer programs with animated graphical displays; control program and its views [»browMH5_1988]
| | Quote: animate an algorithm by annotating the code with event markers; events are procedure calls identifying the event and its arguments [»browMH5_1988]
| | Quote: in an algorithm animation system, need multiple, simultaneous views of the algorithm and its data structures [»browMH5_1988]
| | Quote: an algorithm animation needs multiple views to convey lots of information [»browMH12_1992]
| | Quote: if display program trace at full speed, brightly lit lines are heavily executed [»teitT6_1981]
|
Subtopic: animated programming language
| Quote: every HANDS card has name-value pairs for cardname, x, y, back, speed, direction; automatic display and animation
|
Subtopic: animating icons
| Quote: animate icons in a user interface; users like them, novices noticed them, useful for understanding a tool's function [»baecR4_1991]
| | Quote: every detail of an icon animation needs to be clear and unambiguous; difficult to do [»baecR4_1991]
|
Subtopic: animating text
| Quote: text should slide on the screen to help you understand where you've been and where you're going; like turning pages on a book [»nelsTH_1974]

Subtopic: animating with color
| Quote: highlighting with transparent color useful in an animation; use for transient computations [»browMH12_1992]
| | Quote: color requires fewer pixels than shape; also better for global patterns in an animation [»browMH12_1992]
|
Subtopic: animation UI
| Quote: animation used in SUIT to focus attention, e.g., after an abrupt change [»pausR10_1992]
| | Quote: animated graphs give more meaning and purpose that static data and pictures display [»instrumentcontrol]
|
Subtopic: problem areas in algorithm animation
| Quote: animations depend on input data; use small amounts for introduction and large amounts for intuitive understanding [»browMH12_1992]
| | Quote: push an algorithm animation with pathological data; e.g. regular polygons revealed a subtle bug [»browMH12_1992]
| | Quote: for an animation, a regular arrangement can reveal an algorithm's structure [»browMH12_1992]
| | Quote: multi-level adaptive hashing is so effective that needed to design a bad input for the animation [»browMH12_1992]
