Animation

Let's say I have three points in WorldXY:

Point A = (0,0)

Point B = (5,0)

Point C = (10,0)

Is there a way, that can do this:

Show point A ... Wait 5 seconds ... Then show point B ... (Point A and B are shown) ... Wait another 5 seconds ... Then show point C ... (Alle three can be seen) ...

Thanks in advance ...

Hmm, tricky. Timers are the only things that allow you to perform operations on a time-based schedule in Grasshopper, but it's a bit awkward to go from a timer to a set of animation frames. One way would be to use the [Data Recorder] to keep track of how many times the timer has fired (see attached).

When david says it's tricky so I leave this ... It's not so important for the drawing, that I have ... Important is to figure out, how to have an Arial Font! I'm trying this with rhino, but I get this!!!!!!!!!!!

got it:

Can I work with this in Grasshopper? With this letter?

How can I get it in GH as a string object?

ok, sorry to ask another question ... But I really need to know, how this works ... I have strings in GH and they don't look so nice as these from rhino ... With these letters I made some boolean operations ... I ask myself, if I could put the letters of rhino insteed of these letters I just gave in gh ...

like "set one point"?
