animateThis module allows one to generate animations, as illustrated by the
files wheel.asy, wavelet.asy, and cube.asy in
the animations subdirectory of the examples directory. These
animations use the ImageMagick convert program to
merge multiple images into a GIF or MPEG
movie.
Higher-quality portable clickable PDF movies, with
optional controls, can be internally generated and embedded by
Asymptote
by installing the file
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/animate/animate.styin a new directory
animate in the LaTeX source directory
(for example, in /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/animate) and executing the command
texhash.
The example pdfmovie.asy in the animations
directory, along with the slide presentations slidemovies.asy
and intro.asy illustrate the use of embedded PDF movies.
The member function
string pdf(real delay=animationdelay, string options="")of the
animate structure accepts any of the animate.sty options,
as described here:
