 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 
 The <b>Animation Tool</b> is a <em><a href="wxGUI.html">wxGUI</a></em> component
-for animating a series of GRASS raster maps or a space time raster dataset (created by t.* modules).
+for animating series of GRASS raster or vector maps or space time datasets (created by t.* modules).
 
 <p>
 Animation Tool allows you to:
 
 <ul>
   <li>display up to 4 synchronized animations</li>
+  <li>each animation can consist of base map layer(s) and (multiple) series in arbitrary order
+      (for example, raising water level with elevation)</li>
   <li>control the animation speed</li>
   <li>interactively change active frame using a slider</li>
   <li>visualize space time datasets with unequally spaced intervals</li>

+  <li>animate 3d view (partially implemented, not supported on Windows)</li>
