LOAD MOVIE
This option allows you to
load a movie into memory. You
can't watch a saved film
unless you use this option or
the

(That one begins to play the
film at once.) After selecting
this point, you must type the
filename in. You can give a
file name consisting "*","?".

save a movie from memory to a
disk file. You can't store a
film on disk unless you use
this option!
If you weren't safe enough,
you would be asked if you want

created when you want to load
or create a new one.
You can give a file name
consisting "*","?" characters.

destroy, explode.. etc them.

joy these ugly works with
deleting files you typed in.
|

program or just have to do
something else, you can use
this option to go back to the
DOS prompt.(of course I know,
that you will not ever be
tired of it)
Pressing key combination
ALT-X is equivalent of
selecting this item.

function and its parameters
if you want to work with it
later.

ABOUT...
If you select this item,
you will get some more
information anout the program
and the authors.
|
\4
CLEAR MOVIE MEMORY
Selecting this item, you
can make much more room in
the memory if a film is in it.
Maybe you'll never use this
option because the program
automatically clears the movie
memory if - for example - you
want to load an onther film.
|
\9
PLAY MOVIE FROM MEMORY
Using this option, you can
play the film which is in the
memory. Therefore, before
selecting this option, you
have to create a new film or
load an old one into memory.
After pressing ENTER, the
menu on the left and the icons
on the right will be cleared
and the film will appear on
the screen. It will be played
with a default speed, but you
can modify it with the arrow
keys (Up and Down). When there
is no way more to increase or
decrease the speed, you hear a
bell.
To go back to this menu,
press the ESC key.
|
\10
PLAY MOVIE FROM FILE
Using this option, you can
play a film stored in a disk
file.
After pressing ENTER, give
the name of the file. It will
be loaded into the memory.
After it the menu on
the left and the icons
on the right will be cleared
and the film will appear on
the screen. It will be played
with a default speed, but you
can modify it with the arrow
keys (Up and Down). When there
is no way more to increase or
decrease the speed, you hear a
bell.
To go back to this menu,
press the ESC key.

\11
START CREATING
Only the BREAK button can help
you to stop this routine, when
it started, so think before
you select it!! Examine the
options, try to
DRAW ONE PHASE,
and when everything is OK, you
can start it. After it drink
a cup of coffee, walk a bit
in a park or just have lunch.
When you finished, the film
will be ready too.
|
\12
DRAW ONLY ONE PHASE
Before you start creating,
try to use this item to
exemine if all of the values
are good, the window is nice
and so on.
|
\14
CHANGE THE WINDOW
If you don't like that
axonometrically drawed polygon
(and of course you won't like
it - I have to tell you that I
hate it too) you can change
it to an other one. The
function'll be drawed into
this paralelogramm, so be
carefull, and choose the best
one!
|
\15
PHASE NUMBER
What do you think you have to
do selecting this point? YES!
you are right!! You only have
to type in the number of the
phases.
|
\20
Z INTERVAL
You don't have to know the
interval of the new function,
but I try to draw as big one,
as you tell me. You just have
to tell me, what you think
about this value (1 or 10 or
100000000000000 or how long).
|
\21
HEIGHT OF THE FUNCTION
It means, that the value you
have given to me about the
length of the function, will
be as high, as you tell me
now, with selecting this point
|
\23
THE FIRST TIME VALUE
It's important, when you want
to draw only one phase: here
you can tell me, what's that
time you want to see the
function.
|
\24
X STEP
Here you have to type in the
number of that nice lines,
whiches go paralel with the X
|
\25
Y STEP
The very same as X STEP
|
\26
NO INDICATOR
If you dont want to see,
what's the time-value, you
can choose this option.
|
\27
CLOCK PHASE-INDICATOR
It'll draw a nice clock to
the screen. And where? You'll
never solve this problem!!
OK, I'll help you: if you
look down with 2 points, you
can see an other item called
PLACE INDICATOR
Try that one to place clock.
|
\28
NUMERICAL INDICATOR
The time-value indicator'll
be DIGITAL CLOCK
|
\29
PLACE THE PHASE-INDICATOR
It's nearly the same as the
CHANGE MOVIE WINDOW,the
cursor buttons move the
cursor, ENTER puts the
indicator to the cursor
position.
|
\30
INPUT THE FUNCTION
Just type the function in!
You can use
exp
log
sqrt
sin
cos
tan
pos
functions (The last one is
special: it gives 0, if the
argument is not positive,
othervise 1), X,Y,T variables
and * / : + - characters.
|
\31
ARE THE BLOCKS TRANSPARENT?
You want to draw a film, with
a function, which's covered by
a squared napkin or something
like that? Choose YES! And if
you wanna draw function covered
by a net, choose NO.
