Method for providing animation effect and electronic device supporting the same

An electronic device comprising:

• a display;
• memory storing instructions;
• and
• at least one processor,
• wherein when the instructions executed by the at least one processor dividually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
• detect a designated event,
• identify text to be outputted on the display, the text comprising a plurality of characters,
• for each character of the plurality of characters:
• determine a shape of the character, based on a font, before displaying or applying an animation effect, wherein the shape of the character includes a first path from a start point to at least intermediate points to an end point and a second path from the start point to at least one second intermediate point to the end point, and wherein each of the at least one first intermediate points correspond to a respective one of the at least one second intermediate points;
• and
• based on the determined shape of the character, display portions of the character and applying the animation effect simultaneously along the first path beginning from the start point at a starting time moving to the at least one first intermediate points at one or more intermediate times and then moving to the end point at an ending time, wherein at the one or more intermediate times, portions of the character from the at least one first intermediate points to the end point are not displayed, and the second path beginning from the start point at the starting time moving to the at least one second intermediate points and then moving to the end point at the ending time, wherein at the one or more intermediate times, portions of the character from the at least one second intermediate points to the end point are not displayed, and wherein each pair of the corresponding first intermediate point and second intermediate point is displayed simultaneously.
