Pentagon Diagram - connection lines
Oct 30, 2023
Hello,
is there a possibility in Articulate to align lines to points.
The grouping option does not help me much. I have created a pentagon diagram (see attachment) that uses normal ellipses to represent the points in the diagram. The ellipses move along motion paths depending on variables. At the end I want to connect the points in the diagram with lines.
1. Is there a way to connect the points without javascript?
I am a newbie in terms of javascript.
2. in PPT there is a flexible way to connect lines. Are there such connections in Articulate as well?
3. How would such a programming look like in javascript?
4. What would be the appropriate connection command?
Thanks for any support, regards, Christine

Please correct me if I'm off, but I think you are wanting the dots to draw the pentagram.
If so, I recommend approximating the effect by combining the wheel animation on the pentagram and motion paths on the dots. For more control, you may need to use a wipe animation on lines positioned like a pentagram, as the wheel animation only works from the top.

Play around with the "direction" (it should be called "easing") if your dots don't quite line up with the animation. In my example, I turned "direction" off.
