Changebars
Changebars are the horizontal bars connecting key points. They indicate
a change between key points. Changes include:
Animation duration
Component motion
Simulation element property changes
View orientation such as rotation
Visual properties such as color or view
Changebar Legend
Depending on the entities, changebars use colors that visually identify
the component and the type of change.
In addition to the color, you can identify
the entity by the icon in the MotionManager
design tree.

Driving and Driven Components
When you move a component that drives the motion of related components,
the system animates the driven components as well. Both components include
a changebar.
