TWEEN

            Tweening is a feature that helps us to make animation process easier and faster. It is used for
            some specific kind of animations by calculating and generating some frames for you between an
            initial and a final point. Some important points about the tween.

                There should be at least one object in the scene to use a tween.

                 One kind of tween can be applied for every
               object.

                 If an object is part of a tween, then that
               object cannot be edited as a vector path.

            There  are  many types  of tween  in Tupi 2D:
            motion,  rotation,  scale, shear,  opacity  and
            coloring. Let us learn about these tweens one
            by one.                                                                  Tween
            Motion Tween


            This tween helps move an object. The Motion tween automatically creates intermediate frames
            for you.
            To use Motion tween,  follow the given
            steps:

            Step 1  Draw any object on the workspace
                     area.  Here  we  have  drawn  a
                     rectangle.

            Step 2  Click on Tween option.
            Step 3  Choose Motion tween.
            Step 4  Click on + button and type a name

                     for the tween then select the object.

                                                                  Step 5  Click on Set Path Properties.

                                                                  Step 6   Click at different points to set the
                                                                           path for the animation. As you click
                                                                           Tupi will automatically create  path
                                                                           for you.
                                                                  Step 7   Click on Save button at the bottom

                                                                           window and close the file.
