22.4 Conclusions
Animation offers the user the opportunity to see and query changes spatial patterns. Depending on the nature of the data one can apply different design techniques, or change the viewpoint on the data. Animation will offer a better insight to mapped phenomena. However, this will only work when the user environment has the proper options for interaction. In an exploratory environment the animation will be one of the strong alterative views on the data that supports knowledge discovery.
