Animation
Structurizr allows you to define an animation for a view, consisting of a number of steps where elements and/or relationships are displayed. As with presentation tools like Microsoft PowerPoint, the animation feature allows you to reveal parts of the diagram to help tell a story.
- System context, container, component, deployment, and custom views: the animation is element based.
- Dynamic views: the animation is relationship based.
