- XAnim is an animation viewer (version 2.69.7.6)
- at least 68020+WB2.04 is needed, but you don't need an X11 server running!
-
- This is a 'no changes whatsoever' 'port' of the X11 animation viewer Xanim
- (ok, 3 lines containing X11_LSB had to be changed to X11_MSB..)
- by Mark Podlipec. It means that the program relies on my libX11 to run, and
- does everything in the same manner as the X11 version does. Which means
- internally it uses a chunky representation of the frames and isn't what
- you would call fast! (great on my A4000/040 though!)
-
- some info from the xanim.man file:
- XAnim is a program that can display animations of various
- formats on systems running X11. XAnim currently supports
- the following animation types:
-
- + FLI animations.
- + FLC animations.
- + IFF animations. The following features are sup-
- ported:
- -> Compressions 3,5,7,J(movies) and l(small L).
- -> Color cycling during single images and anims.
- -> Display Modes: depth 1-8, EHB, HAM and HAM8.
- + GIF87a and GIF89a files.
- -> single and multiple images supported.
- -> GIF89a animation extensions supported.
- + GIF89a animation extension support.
- + a kludgy text file listing gifs and what order to
- show them in.
- + DL animations. Formats 1, 2 and 3. TEMPORARILY DISABLED.
- + Amiga PFX(PageFlipper Plus F/X) animations. DISABLED TEMPORARILY.
- + Amiga MovieSetter animations(For those Eric Schwartz
- fans).
- + Utah Raster Toolkit RLE images and anims.
- + AVI animations. Currently supported are
- ->*IBM Ultimotion (ULTI) depth 16.
- -> JPEG (JPEG) depth 24.
- -> Motion JPEG (MJPG) depth 24.
- -> Intergraph JPEG (IJPG) depth 24.
- -> Microsoft Video 1 (CRAM) depth 8 and 16.
- -> SuperMac Cinepak (CVID) depth 24.
- -> Uncompressed (RGB ) depth 8
- -> Run length encoded (RLE8) depth 8.

- + JFIF images. NOTE: use XV for single images. This is more
- for animation of a sequence of JPEG images.
- + MPEG animations. Currently only Type I Frames are
- displayed. Type B and Type P frames are currently
- ignored, but will be added in future revs.
- + WAV audio files may have their sound added to any animation
- type that doesn't already have audio, by specifying the .wav

- line.

- Reported to work on:
- Amiga 3000 with EGS Spectrum board (promoting XAnim)
- Amiga 3000 with Picasso II (promoting Xanim)
- Amiga 4000 native
- Amiga 4000 with EGS Spectrum board (promoting XAnim)
-
- So there is a slight chance it will work on others too!
