Animation Renderer 
This action is used with the Animated Objects function. The image type of the output can be .png, .gif, or .jpeg.
The image can be:
Sent as a transaction output
Generated as XML output for client-side rendering through an SVG plug-in
Saved as a static image with the Image Saver action
Once saved, it can be used as an image in a Web page or report.
Features
The Animation Rendereraction works with predefined animated objects or custom animated objects, which are stored as SVA files. You select an animated object from the list of available objects. The animated object may specify input parameters, such as numbers, colors, and strings. Colors are treated as strings and can be a literal color (red), a hex color (#FF0000), or an RGB color [rgb(255,0,0)]. These input parameters are linked as needed.
This action generates an SVG document with animation applied to the image. By default, the action generates an image in one of the supported formats. You can override the default width and height. SVG images are rendered without losing detail or clarity when expanded or contracted, so they can fit into reports regardless of original size.
