ImageMagick (which is a suite of several stand-alone programs) includes the program 'animate' which does just this. If you have your sequence of files in alphabetical sort order (e.g. view001.png, view002.png, ...) then animate view*.png will cycle through them on order (and rather briskly; however, you can use the "-delay" option to choose your frame speed). There's also a facility to merge a sequence of image files into a single file, an "animated GIF", which can be "played" on any standard Web Browser, only I don't recall the details. Hoping this helps, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 167 1972 Date: 28-Oct-03 Time: 18:58:10 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
