Learning about the TAnimation class

The TAnimation class, which is contained in the FMX.Ani.pas source file, is a TFMXObject descendant and is the ancestor of TCustomPropertyAnimation (it is the ancestor of most animation components in FMX). This class also holds an instance of the global timer FMX uses to notify the running animations that time has passed.

In this section, we will learn about the TAnimation class, along with its inherited classes, in detail. We'll also learn about the global animation functions and interpolation modifier functions associated with it.
