## Discussion

Discussion With this animation type, the component starts out invisible and then appears. As the component enters the person’s view, it appears with a slight fade-in as shown in this video. See also FadeInAnimation, where you can set the initial appearance of the component. Example {   "components": [     {       "role": "heading1",       "text": "2. Unbeatable Heat"     },     {       "role": "figure",       "URL": "bundle://figure.jpg",       "animation": {         "type": "appear"       }     }   ] }
