I believe the GX framework doesn't do much (or anything) more than jQuery + jQuery UI. jQuery has support for easing equations in the core, but no paths or anything. I think you won't find those in any framework/library that focuses on user interface. You might want to look at raphaeljs.com or something alike, but I bet nothing will exactly suit your needs and you'll end up creating it all from scratch. There is also this thing called Glimmer that uses jQuery and supports path/timeline animations, but that's about all I know about it: http://visitmix.com/Lab/Glimmer cheers -- ricardo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jQuery Development" group.
