All Implemented Interfaces:

Runnable

public class AnimationContainer
extends Container
implements Runnable

The AnimationContainer is a Container with special functions for Components which implement the Animateable interface. AnimationContainer holds methods to start and stop the animation of animateable components as well as methods to influence some animation settings. The animation is done by a Thread running in the background. This thread is automatically managed by the AnimationContainer and needs no further assistance by the application.
