A peg bar is a tool used in [[traditional media|traditional]] hand-drawn animation.  It consists of a metal bar with three pegs, and a hinged lid that snaps down on top.  They are used with [[animation paper]] or painted [[cel]]s which have been pre-punched with holes that fit the pegs.  A stack of sequential frames can be stacked onto a peg bar and the artist can flip back and forth between frames as they raw, or flip through all of the frames to get a rough idea of the animation in progress.
