# Animation

## Initial Load

Switch between the different series types below to see their initial load animations. Toggling items in the legend will also animate the series in and out.

#### Initial Load

```ts
// Angular entry point file
import '@angular/compiler';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent);
```

[Live example: Initial Load](https://www.ag-grid.com/charts/angular/animation/examples/initial-load)

## Data Updates

A data update animation is split into three sequential phases — remove, update then add, which can be observed for different series types in this example:

#### Line Series Data Updates

```ts
// Angular entry point file
import '@angular/compiler';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent);
```

## Duration

You can use the `duration` option to specify the length of all animations in milliseconds.

For an initial load, this is simply the duration of the whole animation.

For a data update, the duration is the total time of all three animation phases together — remove, update then add.

```js
{
    animation: {
        duration: 500,
    },
}
```

In this example, click a duration then change the series type to see the initial load animation.

#### Duration

```ts
// Angular entry point file
import '@angular/compiler';
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent);
```
