Abstract
A dynamic icon is an icon whose graphical representation is computed and varies over time with changes in the properties of the object it represents. Dynamics icons make possible use of iconic representation of objects whose dynamic behavior must be reflected in their representation. The visual language PT incorporates dynamic icons to model dynamic object behavior in executing programs. This use of dynamic icons provides a natural program animation mechanism. Dynamic icons and their use in PT are discussed.<>
