NAME
aemakeflic - produce an animation from an aewan document
SYNOPSIS
aemakeflic [-f {less|sh}] [-N] [-b] [-d <delay>] input.ae
[outputfile.ext]
DESCRIPTION
This utility will make an ascii animation out of an aewan document. It
can currently produce animations in two formats: a shellscript which,
when executed, will display the animation and a "less movie" intended
to be "played" on the very popular ’less’ output pager -- that is, the
user will see the animation as he pages down through the file in an
appropriate window size.
Each layer in the aewan document is interpreted as one frame of the
animation. Layer transparency and compositing are not used: each layer
becomes a frame.
OPTIONS
-f specifies output format - can "sh" for a shellscript or "less"
for a "less movie"
-N omit the initial instructions that are normally included in the
resulting file. The instructions will orient the user as to how
to play the file.
-b disables output of color (only characters will be printed).
-d delay
specifies the delay between frames (for shellscript only), given
in milliseconds.
