Hello gif animators!
15.april 1997.
This program was compiled by Tommy Andersen (tommya@post3.tele.dk) on a
TT030. It should work on any Atari ST/TT Falcon computer.
Please read the whirlgif.doc.
Whirlgif is a TTP program, and you must type all parameters on the
command line. So how do I get started?
First, you must create some gif images. After this sort of art exercise,
create a list file, plain ascii, with all images listed. Doubleclick on
whirlgif.ttp, and enter:
-o myfirst.gif -loop -trans #000000 -time 1 -i mylist.txt
After a while, whirlgif quits, and you should now have created an
animated gif. Check it with Cab. For a more in depth explanation of the
parameters, read the whirlgif.doc!
If you are using a cli (as I do) cd into your gif folder, and enter the
command line. Warning! Some cli will change #000000 into something
different. Use '#000000' (quoted).
What the doc did not tell:
-trans index, index is a color index. You can use transgif to list the
color table and the RGB values for each entry. Transgif
is included with Cab.
-trans #value, value is a hex number, example FFFFFF (white) FF0000
(red). It should be read as RRGGBB. If you want to make
black transparent, use -trans '#000000'.
IMPORTANT
---------
This program was written by Kevin Kadow (kadokev@msg.net), I (Tommy
Andersen) just picked it up and compiled it.
If you have any comments about the Atari version, you should contact me.
Happy animation.
CU Tommy
