- * SCOFLICK *
- *********************
-
- The "scoflick" program will display in an X Window files created with
- Autodesk Animator, Autodesk Animator Pro or Autodesk 3D Studio. This
- beta release of the software includes support for resolutions up to
- 1024x768. It is highly recommended that you use this program with a
- graphics card that has an accelerator, such as IBM XGA, Orchid
- Fahrenheit 1280, STB Wind/X, Paradise for Windows, etc. A full list
- of supported adapters in Open Desktop can be found in this forum.
-
- The "scoflick" program uses a simple command line interface with the
- following parameters:
-
- Usage: scoflick -{cn} [-r<count>] [-d<delay>] [-g<geom>] file
- -c Take over the colormap (may cause screen to go technicolor)
- -d<delay> Delay between frames in 1/70s
- -g<geom> Geometry (only the location is used; size is ignored)
- +0+0 : upper left corner
- -0-0 : lower right corner
- -0+0 : upper right corner
- +0-0 : lower left corner
- -n Interpret the file before displaying
- (faster but uses a whole lot more memory)
- -p<pause> Pause after the last frame (seconds)
- -r<count> Repeat count times
-
- Examples:
-
- scoflick -r10 scoflick.flc
- scoflick -d0 -n scoflick.flc
- scoflick -g+0+0 -r10 scoflick.flc
-
- Suggestions:
-
- If you have trouble with speed on your particular graphics adapter,
- you might want to use the "-n" parameter to speed up performance.
- This also requires that you have at least 16 megabytes of memory for
- large files. You may also want to use the "-d" switch to set the
- delay to 0 between frames.
-
-
- The following features will be available in the next released scheduled
- in early April, 1993:
-
- o support for 15 bit and 16 bit color (.F16 support)
- o support for Microsoft Windows AVI files
- o support for Soundblaster audio
- o OSF/Motif user interface
- o support for geometry settings
