Hello.. Has anyone done anything in the way of animation using X11? Have anyone ever tried animation using X window dumps ? Am I am at least on the right track by using X window dumps for animation ? Does anyone have any recommendations ? Or attempts ? Or successes ? Please reply to dlb@zippysun.math.uakron.edu Thanks.

The 'getx11' program that is part of the Utah Raster Toolkit will do animation. Feed it a sequence of images, and it will run them forwards, backwards, continuously f or b, f+b repeatedly, at whatever frame rate you want (up to the max your X will handle). It does tend to make your server grow (since each frame of the movie gets its own pixmap in the server). On a good display, it really looks nice. -- =Spencer W.
