- =====================
- The animate Package
- =====================
-
-Author:
-
- Alexander Grahn
-
-
-Description:
-
- This package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF
- animations from sets of (vector) graphics files or from inline (vector)
- graphics, such as LaTeX-picture, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures,
- or just from typeset text.
-
- It supports the usual PDF making workflows, i. e. pdfLaTeX and LaTeX ->
- dvips -> ps2pdf (Ghostscript).
-
- The resulting PDF can be viewed in current Adobe Readers on all supported
- platforms.
-
- The first release of `animate' was based on the work by Jan Holecek and Petr
- Sojka:
-
- http://www.fi.muni.cz/~xholecek/tex/pdfanim.xhtml
-
- Meanwhile, the package was rewritten to use Optional Content Groups (OCG),
- aka PDF-Layers. OCG-based animations are fully supported by Adobe Reader 8,
- but have some performance issues. Playback is usually slower in Reader 8
- than in previous versions, which is probably a bug.
-
- The old, non-OCG approach is still available if the package file
- `animate-noocg.sty' is used instead of `animate.sty'. However, options
- `autoplay', `autopause' and `autoresume' are not functional in Reader 8.
- Moreover, the animation position and the play/pause buttons are not properly
- reset on page change. This is due to usage restrictions that Adobe imposed
- on some important JavaScript methods in Reader 8.
-
- Note, this file only gives a summary of usage and available package and
- command options. Please refer to the documentation `animate.pdf' in the
- `doc/' directory for details and examples.

- \begin{animateinline}[<options>]{<frame rate>}
- ... typeset material ...
- \newframe[<frame rate>]
- ... typeset material ...
- \newframe*[<frame rate>]
