Computer Animation
Stick figures are often used in animations made with Adobe Flash. Such figures are easy to draw and can be traditionally animated much more quickly than full drawings. Some online cartoon series, such as Xiao Xiao, have been made using the software.
Many other stick figure animation suites exist, which allow the user to create an animation frame-by-frame, or by extrapolating the intermediate frames between a start and endpoint. Animations can be exported in various formats and shared online. Stick figure animation software includes Pivot Stickfigure Animator, This Is Stick Figure Animation Theatre and Stykz.

Famous quotes containing the word computer:
“What, then, is the basic difference between today’s computer and an intelligent being? It is that the computer can be made to see but not to perceive. What matters here is not that the computer is without consciousness but that thus far it is incapable of the spontaneous grasp of pattern—a capacity essential to perception and intelligence.”
—Rudolf Arnheim (b. 1904)
