anim (Animate)

This element is a generic animation element that requires little or no semantic understanding of the attribute being animated. It can animate text within a shape or even the shape itself.

[Example: Consider trying to emphasize text within a shape by changing the size of its font by 150%. The <anim> element should be used as follows:

<p:anim to="1.5" calcmode="lin" valueType="num">

<p:cBhvr override="childStyle">

<p:cTn id="1" dur="2000" fill="hold"/>

<p:tgtEl>

<p:spTgt spid="1">

<p:txEl>

<p:charRg st="1" end="4"/>

</p:txEl>

</p:spTgt>

</p:tgtEl>

<p:attrNameLst>

<p:attrName>style.fontSize</p:attrName>

</p:attrNameLst>

</p:cBhvr>

</p:anim>

end example]
