Summary description: creating portable PDF animations from graphics files and inline graphics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven
PDF animations from sets of (vector) graphics 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 new release is based on Optional Content Groups (OCGs), aka
PDF-Layers, to make animations fully functional in Adobe Reader 8 as well.
Interestingly, OCG-based animations perform better in older Reader
versions, which might be a bug in Reader 8. Therefore, a second version of
the package, `animate-noocg', is provided, which still uses the old,
non-OCG-based method.
Command, \newframe*, for use within the `animateinline' environment,
has been added. If placed after a particular frame it causes the animation
to pause at that frame. The animation continues normally after clicking it
again.
