# Azure Maps Animation module

A rich library of animations for use with the Azure Maps Web SDK.

## Features

### Animations

- Frame based animation timer.

- Drop animations for Point data and markers.

- Animate data along a path.

- Animate the map camera along a path.

- Create a snakeline animation effect.

- Animate the changing of coordinates in a shape or marker.

- Morph a shapes from one geometry to another.

- Group animations and play them together, sequentially, or incrementally. 

- Create a flowing stroke dash array in a line layer.

### Tools

- Improved setTimeout and setInterval functions that leverage requestAnimationFrame.

- Leverage over 30 different built in easing functions.

## Getting started

Download the project and copy the `azure-maps-animations` JavaScript file from the `dist` folder into your project. 

See the [documentation](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-maps-animations/tree/main/docs) for more details on a specific feature or take a look at one of the samples below.

## Roadmap

The following are some ideas to take this project further.

- New examples

    - Cluster explode 

    - Traffic flow lines

- New animations

    - Line path with trail

    - Playable camera animations (rotate around, fly, jump)

- UI controls

    - Animation control UI

    - Time series animation control UI

- Investigate

    - Add option to reduce noise of `heading` values in route path animation.

    - JSON schema for saving and replaying animations.
