animation ¶This module allows one to generate animations, as illustrated by the
files wheel.asy, wavepacket.asy, and cube.asy in
the animations subdirectory of the examples directory. These
animations use the ImageMagick magick program to
merge multiple images into a GIF or MPEG
movie.
The related animate module, derived from the animation
module, generates higher-quality portable clickable PDF movies, with
optional controls. This requires installing the module
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animate/animate.sty
(version 2007/11/30 or later) in a new directory animate in the
local LaTeX directory (for example, in
/usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/animate). On UNIX systems,
one must then execute the command texhash.
The example pdfmovie.asy in the animations
directory, along with the slide presentations slidemovies.asy
and intro, illustrate the use of embedded PDF movies.
The examples inlinemovie.tex and inlinemovie3.tex
show how to generate and embed PDF movies directly within a
LaTeX file (see LaTeX usage).
The member function
string pdf(fit fit=NoBox, real delay=animationdelay, string options="",
bool keep=settings.keep, bool multipage=true);
of the animate structure accepts any of the animate.sty options,
as described here:
