Abstract: A graphical animation authoring system has been
        developed which makes it possible for the course
        instructor to add text, arrows, lines, blocks, and
        waveforms to textbook schematic diagrams. Moving
        cursors on the waveforms and varying lengths of the
        arrows or VU meter displays emphasize the source and
        resulting response nature of the circuit operation.
        Standard overhead projector transparencies are used
        with a liquid-crystal-display unit attached to a
        portable PC for in-class presentations. The
        displayed information is organized as frames within
        each page, so that successively more complex
        pictorials can be revealed in succession for each
        page. The resulting displays are used to aid
        visualization of circuit operation. Some animation
        examples are given.
