Even if every transformation matrix, constraint equations or any other informations stored in LinkageData is accessible to the user, most often animations or visualizations of the linkages give more information, than the expressions. LinkageDesigner package has an extensive support for visualizing and animating linkages. Linkages can be displayed or animated in Mathematica notebook or can be exported to a VRM97 world.
