# NSWritingToolsCoordinator.TextAnimation.anticipate

The animation that Writing Tools performs when waiting to receive
results from the large language model.

```
case anticipate
```

## Discussion

This type of animation applies a visual effect to the text that
Writing Tools is evaluating. When preparing for this animation, hide
the text that Writing Tools is about to evaluate. In the same space
where that text appears, Writing Tools displays a preview image that
you provide and animates changes to that image.
