5 \n In \b Post-Pro there is an option allowing to display
6 pseudo-animation of a field presentation. For creation of this
7 pseudo-animation you should take one field presentation generated on
8 the base of ONE Time Step (for comparison, \ref animating_page "Animation" is generated on
9 the base of ALL Time Steps of a field). The frame displaying this
10 field presentation will be the \em basic. \b Post-Pro automatically
11 generates another frame displaying the \em initial field presentation,
12 which is composed of cells with \em minimum acceptable values regarding
13 the values applied to the cells of the \em basic presentation. It also
14 automatically generates a user-defined number of frames (\b steps),
15 which will display the process of transformation of the field
16 presentation from the \em initial state in the \em basic state. \b Sweeping is
17 a type of animation composed of these frames: the frame displaying the
18 \em initial field presentation will start the animation, the frame
19 displaying the \em basic field presentation will end it.
