The Pebble SDK allows drawing of many types of graphics in apps. Using the Graphics Context, GBitmap, GDrawCommand and Framebuffer APIs gives developers complete control over the contents of the display, and also can be used to complement UI created with the various types of Layer available to enable more complex UI layouts.

Both image-based and property-based animations are available, as well as scheduling regular updates to UI components with Timer objects. Creative use of Animation and PropertyAnimation can help to delight and engage users, as well as highlight important information inside apps.
