I would like to add a small amount of animation to my GEF application (which
basically emphases something getting bigger when a double-click occurs).
Is there a good way to do this (some ideas I have include):
o Setup a callback with the eventloop (somehow) to happen a couple of times
per second, each time doing a small piece of the animation
o Spawn a new thread which performs part of the animation, sleeps, and then
does a little more (etc..)
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Ian

See the internal class AnimatableFigure, which is used by the Palette. It
does the animation directly from the Event Thread, so the animation should
be short.
