ABSTRACT:
In an animation generating method wherein a component of an apparatus to be designed is defined by an instance of an object-oriented program and a figure is allocated to said instance on a computer, and further an animation method for varying a representation of said figure in connection with the operation of the instance is interactively generated, a designation is made of either a slot of said instance, or a method argument of a method effected to said instance, and further a designation is made of a figure attribute of a figure to be changed in an animation representation. In response to this, an animation method for changing the figure attribute is automatically generated with refererence to the slot of the instance, or the method argument of the method effected to the instance.
