The structure ‘settles’ into the PC via the Smooth End effect option. I let them both hang off the left side of the screen merely for effect. The picture is cropped, and the final end of the movement arrow is off the left edge.

This is specifically to make the eraser image's white background transparent. The eraser moves in a zigzag pattern across the screen (right-click the eraser image and select Custom Animation to see the movement arrows), followed by a white box (wiped from the right) that overlays the dashed line, effectively 'erasing' it. (The dashed line is covered by the white box while in slide edit mode, but I left a barely visible line around the box.) The box has no (i.e. barely a) border, so it is invisible against the white background (as is the white area of the eraser picture, except when it hits CAR briefly). The white box Wipe and the eraser movement are intricately timed (see TIMING) to look correct. Note that the animation Path of the eraser is LOCKED, so the placement of the movement arrow is disconnected from where the eraser image actually sits (i.e. off the slide so it does not appear on handouts). On handouts printed Pure Black and White, the white box does appear to surround the dashed line. The BMW data line (a separate text box from the text above it) moves up slowly as the underline is being erased so it is in the correct position as the report would now appear. The eye tends to follow the eraser and barely notices this movement. Do not erase this image!! Read above. Click SKIP SETS to jump over the SET slides if time to present is short. All SETs are listed on this group of slides as a walk- down list. The intent is to go over each of them quickly so the entire group of SET slides takes no more time than 2-3 regular slides, and is perceived as being one concept among all the other features. BMW530I3.0SI2002 2DR Unlike all the other Set slides, the background of the right box here is white just so that the eraser background is invisible. *ACROSSLINE=OFF shows blank line

35. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 35 When it’s CPU charges! When it’s CPU charges! How the piece is cut out The 20% piece of the bottle is created by cropping a second copy of the bottle down to that size. It is then layered over a white box that, in turn, covers the full bottle. So when the piece is moved away, the dotted lines appear and the white box hides the “removed” section. The vanishing of the piece is a double animation of movement and fading. The ‘bandaid’ covering the Redkin product name (right in the middle of the bottle) blends pretty closely with the bottle because it IS part of the bottle – another copy of the bottle grafted, i.e. cropped, down to that small piece and laid on top of the name so it inherently has the same shading.

36. Copyright 2007, Information Builders. Slide 36 Favorite New Features CPU Reduction with FOCUS 7.6 Average 20% faster than FOCUS 7.3 !! New ‘C’ compiler for z/OS and VM $$$$$$$$ How the sliding bar works Obviously overlayed bars, and one moves to the left. But if they were both fully on the screen, then the left side of the moving bar would show movement also and that wouldn’t look good. So I intentionally hung them off the left side of the screen so you don’t see that.
