asymptote: animation

 
 8.16 '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' 'convert' 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 package
      <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.asy', 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 (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:
