Limitation would be of course that the length of the animation must be less than one second.
Edit: and you would need to take care its only played once.

Also, I don't know how much performance something like this would need.
But I guess this would be something one needs to have a look at as well.

That would require the plugin to call the window object itself, which seems outside of its scope. What I would like to be able to do is add

Code:

import advanced-clock-plugin

or whatever to the imports and then just call

Code:

advanced-clock-plugin.redraw()

or whatever the method is called when I need to. But I would need that method to be in place. Perhaps I could just call the method you are using to draw the clock? But it seems as though that could run into some issues with infinite loops, which is why I would prefer a separate method if possible.
