The toolbar always appears at the bottom of the screen. It consists of a trackbar you slide to set the desired date-time to display (displayed in a tooltip as you move). The first six buttons are the typical VCR-type buttons for positioning the trackbar at the beginning and end, moving one timestep previous and next, and starting and pausing animation. The hourglass button is used to set the animation speed; the paint bucket button allows you to create a movie file (.avi) containing the entire animation sequence. Once complete, the movie is automatically displayed. The last button (shaped like an "X"), is used to either stop the creation of the animated movie or hide the animation toolbar.
