Animation: flipping and growing a picture

P

psaffrey

I want to animate a small picture, just a few boxes representing a
kind of histogram, to show how it changes. In particular, I'd like to
flip it along the x axis and I'd like to have it shrink or grow also
along the x axis. Obviously this is easy to do to the boxes
themselves, but I'd like to animate these to show what's happening.

I can do the flipping one by putting the flipped picture on top of the
original and then having one animate with a "collapse" and the other
with a "stretch" on a delay. The combination looks like a flip.
However, I can't figure out how to do the grow animation.

Any ideas?

Hello Peter,

Have you tried the "Grow/Shrink" Emphasis effect, combined with the
"Stretch" entrance effect?

To add a Grow/Shrink emphasis effect:
1. On the your slide select the box that you want to Grow/Shrink.
2. On the Custom Animation task pane, click "Add Effect", point to
"Emphasis", and select "More Effects."
3. In the list that appears, under "Basic", you'll find "Grow/Shrink."

After you have added the Grow/Shrink effect, I would set the "Start" setting
for your Grow/Shrink to "With Previous" and re-order it so that it occurs
right after the "Stretch" (or "Collapse") effect.

I hope that helps you.
