+ * @fileoverview  FrameRateTest harness variant for benchmarking
+ * pages that contain content that is animated (e.g. canvas2d, webGL)
+ *
+ * How to instrument an animated web page for use with the frame rate test
+ * harness:
+ * 1. Include head.js followed by head_animation.js in the head of the test
+ *    page.
+ * 2. If the animation loop does not already use requestAnimationFrame, convert
+ *    it. For maximum portability and functionality, use the __raf function
+ *    defined in head.js (included by this file). Using __raf instead of
+ *    requestAnimationFrame is essential for the *_noraf tests to work
+ *    properly.
+ * 3. Add a call to __animation_hook() at the end of the animation loop
+ */

+// default gestures for animated content
+__gestures = {

+
+// Don't start benchmarking animated pages right away.
+// wait for initialization to complete.
+__initialized = false;
+
+// Indicate to the test harness that the test page has its own
+// animation loop.
+__animation = true;

as I mentioend before, how about just saying __animation_callback = function() {
  // body of your animation hook
}

+
+// Draw this many frames before starting test.
+// This is a delay to allow caches and other resources to spin-up to reach a
+// steady running state before benchmarking begins.
+var __warmup_frames = 10;
+
+function __animation_hook() {
+  if (__warmup_frames > 0){
+    __warmup_frames--;
+    return;
+  }
+
+  // Signal that page is ready to begin benchamarking
+  __initialized = true;
+
+  if (__running) {
+    __advance_gesture();
+    __update_fps();
+  }
+}
