#local where_it_end = <1,1,1>+clock; 
/* or whatever you want as function which please you */
cylinder { 0, where_it_end,0.1 }


Then simply use +KI0 +KF1 +KFI1 +KFF50 on the command line or .ini
for a 50 frames rendering in which the cylinder extend from <1,1,1> to <2,2,2>.

I have a sphere(atom)
it animates from <1,1,1> to <1.2,1,1>
and want cylinder(bond) to follow it...
from <0,0,0> to <1,1,1>
to
from <0,0,0> to <1.2,1,1>

thanks...

just a minor note, I think Jerome meant
#local where_it_end = <1,1,1>*clock;
instead of + there is a *, since you aren't adding the clock value to the
point.

if he's moving the sphere from <1,1,1> to <2,2,2> then <1,1,1>+clock (or
<1+clock,1+clock,1+clock>) works because you *are* adding the clock value
to the point.
