NAME

Animate - the AfterStep iconify animation module

SYNOPSIS

Animate is spawned by afterstep, so no command line invo- cation will work. From within the autoexec file Animate is spawned as fol- lows: Module "I" Animate or from within an afterstep menu file by 'Animate': cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Animate" Module "Animate" Animate MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm" To stop the Animate module, a menu item can be used: cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Animate_Stop" KillModuleByName "Stop Animate" Animate MiniPixmap "mini-as.xpm"

DESCRIPTION

The Animate module performs animation on window iconifica- tion and deiconification in several styles and colors.

INITIALIZATION

During initialization, Animate will search for a configu- ration file which describes the colors, style and actions to take. The configuration file is /usr/local/share/after- step/animate; but can be overriden by ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/animate .

INVOCATION

Animate can be invoked from the autoexec file or from a menu item as shown in the Synopsis section above. AfterStep will search through the directories specified in the ModulePath configuration in the base.#bpp (where # is your colordepth) to attempt to locate Animate. CONFIGURATION FILE Animate reads the animate file when it starts up and looks for it's configuration options: Animate Dec 10 1998 1 Animate(1.6) Animate(1.6) *AnimateColor color Tells Animate what color (see rgb.txt) to draw the window outline with as it animates. *AnimateDelay msecs Tells Animate how many milliseconds to sleep between frames of animation. *AnimateIterations iterations Tells Animate how many steps to break the animation into. *AnimateTwist twist Tells Animate how many revolutions to twist the iconification frame. *AnimateWidth width Tells Animate how wide a line to draw with. Note that with 0 produces a fast line at Width 1. *AnimateResize mode Tells Animate what method to use to draw resizes. zoom, zoom3D, twist, flip, turn & random are cur- rently supported.
