Dashboard animation examples

How to create animated dashboards with RealDash.

  • Name the animation XML file as dashboardname_anim.xml
  • Place the animation XML file into same folder with .rd file
  • On Windows version of RealDash, use File menu Import option to import the XML file (in edit mode).
    • This is required since Windows Store apps are not allowed to access files without user interaction.
  • When XML has changed, reload the .rd file, or press F2 on Windows to reload the dash and apply changes.
  • Every time .rd file is saved it also contains all animations, there is no need to distribute the XML with .rd file.

NOTE The groups and group attributes will not be supported in future versions of RealDash. To animate multiple gauges with one animation, use a Container Gauge in RealDash. Container gauge accepts all animation types and applies the animation to all contained gauges. Removal of the support for groups in XML does not affect the functionality of previously published dashboards.

Animation easing types

Animations use easing. Multiple easing types are available for animations.

Each easing type may have postfix In, Out, or InOut. Default for all is InOut.

Default easing for all animations is SineInOut.
