Simlytiks supports animating for some basic charts which include bubble chart, vertical bar chart, parallel coordinates, line and heat map.

Fruits Bubble Chart Animation


10.1. Adding Animations

Animation options for charts can be added by editing the visualizer. Click on Edit Viz in the right corner chart menu, and select the play icon to the left of the chart area. Here, we’ll choose a data column to animate.

Chart Animation


Animation is automatically accumulative, adding a new bucket (specific data) as the animation progresses, but this can be turned off, which will present each bucket separately. The following video shows the process of adding animations to the bubble chart.
