# Slot: animation 


_Turns the figure into a movie over one dimension of its data instead of a still. Every other field keeps its meaning — the mosaic, the panels, the sizing and the styling are the frame; the animation only says which dimension advances and how fast. Declaring it is what makes a figure whose subject is a *process* show the process rather than a snapshot of it, without a second, hand-written plotting path._
