Re: Animated plots

Hello,

For animation options in addition to idt (and
also cross-platform):

(1)
With Imagemagick's convert function you can
make animated gif files via

convert -delay 100 *.gif -loop 0 movie.gif
or
convert -delay 100 *.png -loop 0 movie.gif
etc.

(2)
With NCL's ability to make PDF documents, you
can show a PDF animation via the following in
Adobe Acrobat Reader:

>From the Edit Menu:
  Preferences
    Full Screen
      * Loop after last page
      * Advance every N seconds

Then enter Full Screen mode via ^L or from the
View menu select "Full Screen", to see the movie.

You can also zoom in on an image using various
zoom options.

The ability of NCL to make PDF files is very useful.
These files allow zooming of a vector graphics file,
rotation of pages, movies, selecting pages via
thumbnails, printing preferences (selected pages), etc.
