<section id="GUID-6F2D66DB-B099-4D4F-8F98-720B4A67C24A"><title>Description</title> <p>This example is a UI application, which
demonstrates how to create and play basic and sprite animations. It implements
all the standard classes required by any application using UI controls such
as an application, a document, an application UI and a view. </p> <p>The application
provides UI controls to create a sprite animation and a basic client-side
animation. It also provides UI controls to control the behavior
of an animation such as, start, stop, pause, resume and move. </p> <p>The
application plays an animated <filepath>.gif</filepath> file both as a basic
client-side animation and a server-side sprite animation. It performs the
following tasks in the order they are listed to create the basic and sprite
animations: </p> <ol id="GUID-5860A908-A761-5431-AB6E-EEBE4D7CF0FE">

</ol> <p>Once both the animations are started, the window server will automatically
draw the animations onto the window by calling the <codeph>Draw()</codeph> method. </p> </section>
