Animationsformate

Animationsformate refer to the various file formats used to store and distribute animated content. These formats can be categorized into two main types: vector-based and raster-based. Vector-based formats, such as SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and SWF (Shockwave Flash), use mathematical equations to define shapes and paths, allowing for scalable and resolution-independent animations. Raster-based formats, like GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) and APNG (Animated Portable Network Graphics), store animations as a sequence of individual images, making them suitable for simple animations but not scalable. Other formats, such as MP4 and WebM, are used for video-based animations and support more complex visuals and audio. The choice of format depends on the specific requirements of the animation, including scalability, file size, and compatibility with different platforms and devices.
