Many thanks in advance for any help you can give. oh no, there you have even less chances to get an answer. You may have to write to d...@openoffice.org or d...@graphics.openoffice.org, where you'll find the developer/s who designed that API. > I'm completely new to the OOo UNO API, and I have been completely > unsuccessful in finding info on adding motion path animations to an XShape > in Impress.

Example code that adds a motion path animation to a shape > would be most helpful, but I'll take whatever I can get right now! I guess nobody answered you because nobody knows. At least, I have no idea, never tried that (nor understand what a "motion path Animation to an XShape" is). On the other hand, Draw/Impress API is the worst document OOo API (just go to the Dev's Guide and see the holes in the documentation, lots of features for which there is already an API are not even mentioned). And if you take a look at the documentation for the module in question http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/animations/module-ix.html you'll see missing descriptions for TargetPropertiesCreator XAnimationNode XAnimationNodeSupplier XAudio TimeFilterPair ValuePair Timing AnimationEndSync AnimationValueType EventTrigger TransitionSubType TransitionType so lucky you if you can get an idea of how things work with the animation API ust by reading the abstract specification. If I compare this state with http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/sdb/application/CopyTableWizard.html I come to the concusion that some developers don't care much about API users. So luck with them at d...@openoffice.org or d...@graphics.openoffice.org.
