are classified into Paint and Draw programs depending on how the graphic is
stored. Animation programs create the illusion of movement and are used for
cartoons. Path based animation involves drawing individual frames and displaying
them in sequence. Cell-based animation involves displaying the movement of
objects onto a fixed background.
