- Although I can't speak for Grammi, the above statement isn't entirely
- true for TAE Plus. TAE Plus has a type of object called a Data Driven
- Object (DDO). With a drawing editor (based on idraw), you can draw
- whatever you like and animate portions of it (albeit in predefined
- ways, e.g. stretchers, movers, rotators). You can also create a
- discrete pictures DDO which completely replaces the background with
- each new value (for animation).
-
- NASA has an anonymous FTP site that has contributed DDOs which you can
- use or tailor to your needs.
