Using apE v2.1, I'm trying to create an animation of three layers of atoms. Each layer has it's own color. I have the origins of each atom per frame. I'm using three positron icons, one for each layer of atoms. These three positron icons are fed by one indata icon. The positron icons feed into panorama which in turn feeds into pur and, in turn, into easel. All pipes are synchronous, black. The format of my flx file is frame start 1 begin variable nset1 ... end variable begin variable nset2 ... end variable begin variable nset3 ... end variable end frame 1 ... where each variable in a frame is a vector of float3. My problem is that when I load and render a single frame, everything works fine. When I feed a whole bunch of frames, it seems that only one layer gets rendered. Shouldn't setting my pipes to be synchronous fix this?
