E05 — Build animatable symbols
| Field | Content |
|---|---|
| For | symbol designers |
| who | need symbols whose parts can react to a state |
| the solution | symbols in the Symbol Editor |
| is a | a group of shapes with ports and animatable parts |
| that | one symbol drawn once, animated by any configuration |
| unlike | one drawing per state |
| our solution | parts are animated, not redrawn |
| Business outcomes | a symbol with ports and animatable parts (color, blinking, opacity, visibility, partial fill, rotation) previews each animation |
| Leading indicators | reference symbols (pump, valve, tank) built |
| Non-functional requirements | animations smooth enough for a synoptic view |
| In scope | ports, animatable parts, animation preview (the shape tree comes from E13) |
| Out of scope | business meaning (E06) |
| Closure criteria | a pump symbol with two ports and animated parts works end to end |
