...Animator allows for more flexibility in the types of animation that can be performed, but gives up some convenience in order to do so. Specifically, animators allow for any type of animation or simulation to be performed for a single value. Simulated animations use a simulation function to power a physics-based transition. Simulation functions are types conforming to the SimulationFunction protocol. Values conforming to the VectorConvertible protocol can be animated by Advance. Conforming types can be converted to and from a Vector implementation.
