# Trajectories split & then sequence animated

In fact, if the animation is repeated with trajectories running across months, <u>separately</u> drawn for each year, using the option discussed earlier to split the trajectories, then the scale of the seasonal cycle can be made visually apparent in a dynamic way. Firstly, take **Graph>Special>Overlays**> (Trajectory✓Overlay trajectory)>(Trajectory numeric factor: <ins>Month</ins>)&(✓Split trajectory><ins>Year</ins>), then you might like to remove extraneous information from the plot, such as the History box on the **General** tab and the line keys on the **Keys** tab, unchecking (✓Plot key) under the <u>second</u> entry for (Select key to edit: <ins>Year</ins>). Then the animation **Graph>Special>Main**>(Sequence✓Run sequence)> (Factor: <ins>Month</ins>)&(Decay: <ins>0.5</ins>) gives a dynamic display of the seasonal cycle running in parallel across the years.
