Description of TAnimate Thread :
This component produces animation effects. Given a bitmap, it can show consecutive parts of the bitmap depending on the values supplied. That is, basically it can show frames and the frame width and height is configurable so is the direction of motion. This can be used to produce great displays like scrolling, morphing, animations and others restricted by imagination alone. This component makes use of the multi-threaded architecture of the newer 32-bit OSes. It uses, internally, the TThread component provided by Borland Delphi 2.0. Note that this component does not use WinG library and hence no additional DLLs are required for deployment.
