    @class wxAnimationCtrl

    This is a static control which displays an animation.
    wxAnimationCtrl API is as simple as possible and won't give you full control
    on the animation; if you need it then use wxMediaCtrl.

    This control is useful to display a (small) animation while doing a long task
    (e.g. a "throbber").

    It is only available if @c wxUSE_ANIMATIONCTRL is set to 1 (the default).

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxAC_DEFAULT_STYLE}
           The default style: wxBORDER_NONE.
    @style{wxAC_NO_AUTORESIZE}
           By default, the control will adjust its size to exactly fit to the
           size of the animation when SetAnimation is called. If this style
           flag is given, the control will not change its size

    This class encapsulates the concept of a platform-dependent animation.
    An animation is a sequence of frames of the same size.

    On other platforms wxAnimation is always capable of loading both GIF and ANI
