	<description>
		An Animation resource contains data used to animate everything in the engine. Animations are divided into tracks, and each track must be linked to a node. The state of that node can be changed through time, by adding timed keys (events) to the track.
		[codeblock]
		# This creates an animation that makes the node "Enemy" move to the right by
		# 100 pixels in 0.5 seconds.
		var animation = Animation.new()
		var track_index = animation.add_track(Animation.TYPE_VALUE)
		animation.track_set_path(track_index, "Enemy:position:x")
		animation.track_insert_key(track_index, 0.0, 0)
		animation.track_insert_key(track_index, 0.5, 100)
		[/codeblock]
		Animations are just data containers, and must be added to nodes such as an [AnimationPlayer] or [AnimationTreePlayer] to be played back. Animation tracks have different types, each with its own set of dedicated methods. Check [enum TrackType] to see available types.
