Abstract
Animation by creating intermediate objects for transitioning between two objects having a mappable function. In certain implementations a processor determines whether a first object in a first slide in the slide presentation differs from a matching second object in a second slide in the presentation in one or more properties that have one or more corresponding known mappable transition functions other than translation, rotation, or scaling transitions. Furthermore, the processor creates one or more intermediate objects that incrementally reflect changes from the first object to the second object based at least in part on the one or more mapped transition functions where the one or more intermediate objects are configured to smooth the transition from the first object to the second object.
