Author: Bruce Steers
Uploader: bsteers@ukonline.co.uk
Type: gfx/conv
Replaces: gfx/conv/Anim2gif-GUI
Requires: GfxCon , Buildanim (included) and WhirlGif (found on aminet)
Version UpDates:
---------------
Version 3.1 (21.08.99)
----------------------
List command was giving "SORT=name" for my version 42.7 of C:List so
I changed it to execute C:Sort after C:List so that Bug IS Fixed
Thanks Andrew Barker of Kununurra AUSTRALIA for reporting that :-)
No Version String
-----------------
Original Release when I Thought it was OK :-(
OverView:
---------
Ani2Gif-GUI Converts iff anims to gif format for your Web Site .
aspects of the output gif that can be set are
Loops/Transparency/Max Colours/Size.
Function:
---------
This utility uses "buildanim" to extract frames from an animation
it then uses "GfxCon" to resize, recolour and convert to gif
it then uses "WhirlGif" to process a gif animation.
Requirements:
-------------
all 3 programs mentioned above are required in your sys:c drawer .
In addition to this Commodore's "List" And "Sort" should be in c:
I got kind permission for inclusion of
BuildAnim from Christer Sundin
d8sunch@dtek.chalmers.se
Thanks Chris
(A Short But Sweet O.K)
and GfxCon from Dirk Farin
farin@ti.uni-mannheim.de
Thanks Dirk
He's Upset About the People Uploading GfxCon without his permission
his Guide Says it's OK to do this with free programs but GfxCon IS EmailWare
So Contact Him Before doing so.
-----
WhirlGif however is not included as Hannu Nevalainen kindly Explained .
WhirlGif Contains code to compress data using the LZW/LZH(?) technique .
This technique(?) has been claimed (C) by someone (was it Unisys?)
which means it isn't "free". As it isn't free the aminet maintainer
WON'T accept any (re)uploads of it.
So to get WhirlGif DownLoad it from any full aminet site , it's found in
gfx/conv/
it's name keeps changing but it'll be "gfx/conv/WhirlGif<something>.lha"
Installation:
-------------
drop Anim2gif-GUI Into Desired Directory
Copy GfxCon and Buildanim to C:
Ensure WhirlGif Is In C:
Features:
---------
Set Time Delay 1/100
Set Loops 0<Infinite>/9999

Transparency can be set to colour 0 or A chosen frame is loaded with a
tiny box in the top left corner displaying colour under the pointer.
