anima – Create slideshows with simple animations

The idea for this package arose from noticing that including the \pause command from the beamer class within the \foreach loop command from the TikZ package creates a sequence of frames, where each slide presents a step in the construction of the image. The purpose of the anima class is to provide macros that simplify the use of this effect for creating animated slide presentations.

Although the functionality of this class can be compared to the transition effects of the beamer class, it is not a dependency of the anima class. However, the class makes extensive use of the image creation language provided by the TikZ package.

Lastly, it is worth noting a comparison between this class and the animate package. The animate package can create embedded animations within the document, while the anima class produces an animation where each frame corresponds to a page of the document. This distinction highlights the different design goals of the anima class.
