// // streamAnim is designed to be a lower level image streaming utility // to XWindows platforms including Linux with a minimal windowing and // library need. streamAnim never completely loads the stream of // images into memory, only loading one image at a time. This is // exceptionaly useful with very large images and very large streams // of images which can rapidly bring a systems memory grinding to a // halt in mid animation..... // // streamAnim is not designed to be a converter or "stream" media to // the Internet. Rather, it is designed to simply and quickly parse // image files and display them as fast as your own file system will // deliver them while using as minimal a memory footprint as possible. // // This version relies on imlib for greater flexibility in image // format loading.... // // http://freshmeat.net/projects/imlib/ // http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/imlib/ // http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/imlib/ // http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/imlib/1.9/imlib-1.9.15.tar.bz2 // http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/imlib/1.9/imlib-1.9.15.tar.gz //

// // show all the files once through // streamAnim allmyfiles*.png

// // loop continuously through the entire file set... // streamAnim --loop allmyfiles*.png

// read the images files from file named myList with one imagefile per line.. // loop continuously through the entire file set... // streamAnim --loop --listFile myList

// If you pass a myList file to streamAnim, it will parse a file name, // then attempt to load it from: // // the filename itself // the current directory prefixed to the filename // the root of the myList file added to the filename // // if none are possible, the file will be dropped/ignored. //
