[jQuery] Plugin Food for Thought: CSS Animation Generator
Evenin' folks,
I've got a script I've been sitting on for a year, and figured someone
might find it useful for something.
It's a polymorphic animation generator. I originally designed it to
improve calendar usability via a fisheye visualization, but it can
animate anything described in CSS files.
Since the code itself doesn't change for different animations, it's
handy for non-developers who want to create/modify animations using
only CSS knowledge.
I've used it to build everything from calendars to visualizations of
pebbles skipping across water. A few tweaks, and it could probably
handle slideshows and... well... just about any type of non-dynamic
animation. It relies on the CSS engine to perform the animations, so
it can handle multiple animations a bit faster than JS can.
Here's a couple examples.
Simple: http://1button.org
A bit more complex, with multiple boxes, images, and text resizing at
once. http://floss4good.biz
Cheers!
