Re: Creating an animantion

[William.S.Kessler@xxxxxxxx]

Hello Manfredi -

You have your quotes backwards. Immediate evaluation mode
requires back-quotes (`), not ordinary quotes (') as you
have used.

I also notice that in your second script, you have the 
time index specified to 12 in the fill command. In a
structure like you have, the fill command should be
written:

fill /nolabels /pal=light_centered /levels=(-40,40,1)(-80)(80)
diceperc[l=$1]

$1 refers to the first argument passed to the script.

Regards .... Billy K
