.TH ANIMATION 1 "2000-12-30" "perl v5.8.0" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
Tk::Animation \- Display sequence of Tk::Photo images
\& my $img = $widget->Animation('-format' => 'gif', -file => 'somefile.gif');
\& $img->start_animation($period);
\& $img->add_frames(@images);
In the simple case when \f(CW\*(C`Animation\*(C'\fR is passed a \s-1GIF89\s0 style \s-1GIF\s0 with
multiple 'frames', it will build an internal array of \f(CW\*(C`Photo\*(C'\fR images.
\&\f(CW\*(C`start_animation($period)\*(C'\fR then initiates a \f(CW\*(C`repeat\*(C'\fR with specified \fI$period\fR
to sequence through these images.
\&\f(CW\*(C`stop_animation\*(C'\fR cancels the \f(CW\*(C`repeat\*(C'\fR and resets the image to the first
The \f(CW\*(C`add_frames\*(C'\fR method adds images to the sequence. It is provided
to allow animations to be constructed from separate images.
All images must be \f(CW\*(C`Photo\*(C'\fRs and should all be the same size.
The 'period' should probably be a property of the Animation object
rather than specified at 'start' time. It may even be embedded
