=====================
The animate Package
=====================
Author:
Alexander Grahn
Description:
This package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF
animations from sets of (vector) graphics or rasterized image 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.
