- Anim Frames (Anim Menu)
-
- DEMONSTRATION AVAILABLE -> `Frames_SetNum.sdemo`
-
- SET # Displays the Set Frame Count requester. This allows you to
- Add or Delete frames; if the number you specify is greater
- than the current amount of frames, frames will be added to
- make the total number of frames equal to the number you
- specified. If the current frame is the last frame, frames
- will be added after the current frame. If the current frame
- is in the middle of a group of frames, frames will be
- inserted after the current frame.
-
- SEE -> `FrameCount.pic`
-
- THE CONTENTS OF THE CURRENT FRAME ARE COPIED TO THE ADDED
- FRAMES.
-
- If you specify a number less than the current amount of
- frames, then frames will be deleted forward, starting with
- the current frame, until the total number of frames is
- equal to the number you specified.
-
- DEMONSTRATION AVAILABLE -> `Frames_AddCopyDel.sdemo`
-
- ADD FRAMES Displays a requester that lets you specify the number
- of frames you want added. These new frames are added after
- the current frame. Additionally, the contents of the
- current frame are copied to all the new frames. The last
- frame to be added becomes the current one.
-
- SEE -> `AddFrames.pic`
-
- COPY FRAMES Displays the "Copy Frames" requester. This gives you several
- options to choose from:
-
- SEE -> `CopyFrames.pic`
-
- By using the upper half of the requester, you can copy the
- current frame to either All Frames that currently exist or
- only to a Range of frames. To copy the current frame to
- a Range, enter a range of frames in the __to__ area and
- click on the Range button.
-
- The bottom half of the Copy Frames requester lets you copy
- a Range of frames and insert them before a specified frame.
- This allows you to copy "blocks" of your animation and place
- them at other points in the animation. This feature gives
- a kind of "Copy & Paste" function commonly found in
- word processing programs, of course, you are working with
- animation frames instead of words!
-
- DELETE FRAMES Displays the "Delete Frames" requester with the following
- options:
-
- SEE -> `DeleteFrames.pic`
-
- Click on the Current Frame button to delete only the
- current frame.

- the values in the __to__ area.
-
- Clicking All frames will remove all animation frames from
- memory, leaving only the current frame available.
