Animations

There are several animations you can use. Think of them as unique dance moves that your text can perform. Here’s how different types of animations can be like characters in a show:

  • Rotate: Imagine your text spinning in circles like a dancer spinning on stage, creating a flashy look.
  • Fade: Similar to an actor slowly appearing and disappearing on stage, adding dramatic flair to your text.
  • Typewriter: Picture a typewriter in action, as it types out your words letter by letter, an old-school touch to your display.
  • Scalable: Think of your text growing and shrinking, like a balloon filling up with air before it eventually pops!
  • Colorize: Your text can change colors like a rainbow, brightening up the visual like a festival.
  • Wavy: Visualize your text swaying back and forth gently, akin to how people sway to soothing music.
  • Flicker: Just like the flickering of a candle, lending an ethereal vibe to your text.

Each animation is accompanied by examples provided in the documentation, so you can see these characters perform live!
