Editing Animated mapping (section)

===Non-temporal map animation===
Non-temporal map animation shows changes against some other variables other than time. The variable might be a place, position, generalization level, etc. Non–temporal animation also serves when there is a need to show both the data set and the transformation that has been applied to it for its display.

Non-temporal animation can be of many types according to the purpose they serve:

; Fly through animation
: This type of animation gives the viewer the feeling of flying through the landscape.

; Cartographic zoom animation
: This type of animation shows maps at different focus levels and viewers can change the scale of the map as desired.

; Classification animation
: Different methods of data classification are depicted in this animation.

; Generalization animation
: This type of animation uses a single classification method with multiple classes of data.

Time is an important aspect in both animations. Real-time is depicted in temporal animation and presentation time (time to show the animation) is associated with non-temporal animation.
