The new (in 2.11) knob animation is a helper to reduce repetition in XML files, and provide a separation point for behaviour vs user interface. The idea is to specify a single animation element representing the knob or dial, with bindings for various actions, and allow the GUI to decide which user interactions map to those behaviours. In particular the mapping could be adjusted by platform (Mac vs Linux), device type (laptop or not) or a GUI preference. All knobs using the animation would hence have standard user-interaction across all aircraft, which is not the case at present.
