John,
I do not remember seeing any replies on list (since you ask). People did
see the question, however.
I took a quick look at all of my documentation that I have produced. I
thought that I had done this once just to test it. Seems that I did not.
the point is that I spent ten minutes looking at it, but I did not
pursue it because of lack of time (I do this all on my personal time).
Some people do take a look, and, as Ariel said, they likely did not know
the answer off hand so did not bother to answer.
Could I find a solution? Probably, if the API supports this. But at the
moment, I did not want to spend an hour or so looking into it.

dev@api.openoffice.org list, so if replying please "Reply All." Also,
you can read the mail archive at

apologies for the cross-post, but if no one can help on dev@, perhaps the
users@ list can. Many thanks in advance for any help you can give.
oh no, there you have even less chances to get an answer.
You may have to write to d...@openoffice.org or d...@graphics.openoffice.org, where
you'll find the developer/s who designed that API.
I'm completely new to the OOo UNO API, and I have been completely
unsuccessful in finding info on adding motion path animations to an XShape
in Impress. I was told (in IRC) that it involves querying the
com::sun::star::animations::XAnimationNodeSupplier interface from a page in
my document, then somehow adding SMIL nodes to the root node through that,
but to be honest I don't understand how to do that at all.
Could someone please shed some light on this subject for a complete newbie
like myself? Example code that adds a motion path animation to a shape
would be most helpful, but I'll take whatever I can get right now!
I guess nobody answered you because nobody knows. At least, I have no idea,
never tried that (nor understand what a "motion path Animation to an XShape"
is).
On the other hand, Draw/Impress API is the worst document OOo API (just go to
the Dev's Guide and see the holes in the documentation, lots of features for
which there is already an API are not even mentioned).
And if you take a look at the documentation for the module in question
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/animations/module-ix.html
you'll see missing descriptions for
TargetPropertiesCreator
XAnimationNode
XAnimationNodeSupplier
XAudio
TimeFilterPair
ValuePair
Timing
AnimationEndSync
AnimationValueType
EventTrigger
TransitionSubType
TransitionType
so lucky you if you can get an idea of how things work with the animation API
ust by reading the abstract specification.
If I compare this state with
http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/sdb/application/CopyTableWizard.html
I come to the concusion that some developers don't care much about API users.
So luck with them at d...@openoffice.org or d...@graphics.openoffice.org.
[If you find the answers, please come back and tell]
