inline (vector) graphics, such as LaTeX-picture, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ
generated pictures, or just from typeset text.
+ The `animate' package relies on Optional Content Groups (OCG), also known as
+ PDF layers, which is a feature provided by the PDF-1.5 specification. Each
+ frame of an animation is associated with an OCG that is hidden or made
+ visible in a dynamic fashion by means of Adobe Reader's built-in JavaScript
+ engine.
+
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.
