Remarks

This class implements basic methods for all animation objects. An animation object can represent a value, point, size, rectangle or color in an application, as well as any custom entity. Animation objects are stored in animation groups (see CAnimationGroup). Each group can be animated separately and can be treated as an analogue of storyboard. An animation object encapsulates one or more animation variables (see CAnimationVariable), depending on its logical representation. For example, CAnimationRect contains four animation variables - one variable for each side of rectangle. Each animation object class exposes overloaded AddTransition method, which should be used to apply transitions to encapsulated animation variables. An animation object can be identified by Object ID (optionally) and by Group ID. A Group ID is necessary in order to place an animation object to correct group, but if a Group ID is not specified, an object is placed in the default group with ID 0. If you call SetID with different GroupID, an animation object will be moved to another group (a new group is created if necessary).
