- ShowANIM A program for the playing of ANIM files.
- The usage for this program is simply:
-
- ShowANIM filename
-
- which will load the specified ANIM file into memory
- and play it one time.
-
- There are also three switches which can be used:
-
- -l loop mode - will replay the animation
- over and over from the start. Execution
- can be terminated only by a re-boot.
-
- -c continuous play mode - this is similar to
- -l above except ShowANIM assumes you have a
- two frame overlap at the end of the ANIM file
- (the last two frames are IDENTICAL to the
- first two). Given this requirement, ShowANIM
- can play the animation over and over in a
- continuous fashion.
-
- +nn where nn is a two digit number indicating the
- number of vertical blanks (1/60 sec jiffies)
- for each frame. ShowANIM will assure that at
- least this number of vertical blanks will
- occur between frames. e.g. a +6 will produce
- a 10 frame/second animation provided ShowANIM
- can reconstruct the frames that fast. This
- will override the reltime parameter on the
- ANHD chunks on the ANIM file.
-
- For example, to show the redbaron.anim file on this
- disk continuously at 30 frames per second, enter:
-
- ShowANIM -c +2 R_Baron.anim
-
-
- R_Baron.anim This is a nice animation of a tri-plane
- provided courtesy of Allen Hastings (author of
- VideoScape-3D on which this ANIM was produced).
- This ANIM file has a two frame overlap at the end
- which permits it to be played back with the -c switch
- (continuous play) in which case it will fly round and
- round forever (nearly).
