PROGRAM NAME
animate - Interactive Animation of Image Sequence
DESCRIPTION
The animate program is an interactive image sequence display tool.
This application allows you to input an image that contains multiple frames
and sequence through those frames. Alternatively, you may provide a
basename that describes a set of single band images located in the same
directory, and use these as input to animate.
The features provided by animate include:
Forward and reverse sequencing.
Different sequencing mechanisms (looping, single stepping, auto reverse).
Variable sequencing speed.
Optional display of frame number
Input of single files containing multiple frames, or sets of files containing
one frame each.
Clip masks
Alternate colormap file
Autocolor operations
Normalization of colormaps, application of functions to colormaps
Generation of new data sets for animation
