Chapter 8: Geometry Application

An animation consists of one or more point/curve pairs, in which the curve can be a line segment, circle, ellipse, 
or function. You build an animation by selecting a point/curve pair, and then adding it to an animation.

You can build and run an animation either by executing menu commands or by using the animation toolbar that 
appears when you tap [View] and then [Animation UI].
