Re: [las_users] animation

Andrea,

We've had a couple of requests for animations and the holdup has always 
been no specific source of funding to do it and the fact that Ferret 
does not create animations as one of its native output types.  To get 
animation functionality you could add a custom operation (in 
las/server/custom/custom.pl) that would instruct Ferret to spit out a 
bunch of .gif images with a sequential naming scheme.  Then you'd need 
to invoke another tool (whirlgif?  imagemagic?) to ingest these and spit 
out an animation in the desired format.  Once this is created, LAS will 
return it to the end user.

If you or anyone else has code that can do this we'd love to see it and 
include it in our las/contrib/ area.
