8Introduction
9------------
10
11A Scene is an encapsulation of the state of a view hierarchy,
12including the views in that hierarchy and the various values
13(layout-related and otherwise) that those views have. A scene can be
14defined by a layout hierarchy directly or by code which sets up the
15scene dynamically as it is entered.
16
17A Transition is a mechanism to automatically animate changes that
18occur when a new scene is entered. Some transition capabilities are
19automatic. That is, entering a scene may cause animations to run which
20fade out views that go away, changeBounds and resize existing views
21that change, and fade in views that become visible. There are
22additional transitions that can animate other attributes, such as
23color changes, and which can optionally be specified to take place
24during particular scene changes. Finally, developers can define their
25own Transition subclasses which monitor particular property changes
26and which run custom animations when those properties change values.
27
28TransitionManager is used to specify custom transitions for particular
29scene changes, and to cause scene changes with specific transitions to
30take place.
