gre.animation_stop(animation_id, data)

gre.animation_stop("animation_name")

Stop an animation. If an animation_id is used to stop the animation, then it must be the return value from gre.animation_create(). If a name is used to stop an animation, then that name must be the name of the animation specified in Designer. This function can take an optional parameter, data_table. The data_table contains the tags and values for the extra arguments to set.

function create_animation(mapargs)
    local data = {}

    -- slide the x position 400 pixels over 2000 msec and auto-destroy
    -- it on completion
    id = gre.animation_create(60, 1)
    data["rate"] = "linear"
    data["duration"] = 2000
    data["offset"] = 0
    data["delta"] = 400
    data["key"] = "mylayer.mycontrol.grd_x"
    gre.animation_add_step(id, data)

    gre.animation_trigger(id)

    --do stuff

    --Stop the animation
    gre.animation_stop(id)
end

--Example of using gre.animation_stop passing animation names.
function cb_stop_cur_5day()
    if cur_5day_toggle == false then
        gre.animation_stop("show_5day")
    else
        gre.animation_stop("hide_mon_to_fri")
  end
end

--Example of using gre.animation_stop with context.
function cb_toggle_cur_5day()
    local data = {}

    data["context"] = "Layer1.mycontrol"
    gre.animation_stop("show_5day", data)
