  • System, method, and computer program product for animating drawings
    Publication number: 20060214947
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product identify a first drawing comprising a number of graphical objects, display the first drawing, identify a second drawing comprising a number of graphical objects, determine the differences between the graphical objects of the first drawing and the corresponding graphical objects of the second drawing, and thereafter change the display of the graphical objects of the first drawing which are different in the second drawing. Any number of drawings may be identified and compared, and the differences from the preceding drawings may be displayed. Each difference from one drawing to the next represents the occurrence of an event in a system. As the display of the graphical objects is changed, the flow of events within the system is illustrated.
