How can one do the animations where an object is gradually revealed.

For example, like letters gradually writing itself (not like a typewriter, but handwritten) or even more complex, i`d like to animate a tree that grows from the ground and then branches are drawn out until the leaves appear.

There are several examples of what I`m talking about at the following site:

(see the animation of the word `welcome`)

Thanks!!!
