Process Method

Summary

Processes the next state during an animation playback.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++/CLI

Python

public RasterImageAnimatorState Process()

- (LTRasterImageAnimatorState)process:(NSError **)error;

public: 
RasterImageAnimatorState Process();

def Process(self):

Return Value

A RasterImageAnimatorState enumeration member that describes the new state of the animation playback engine

Remarks

You should call this method in a loop to continually process the playback.
