Left: set the left location of the picture, Default is 0 (zero)
Parameter 3
Top: set the top location of the picture, Default is 0 (zero)
Parameter 4
frames: ‚ÅÑconsecutive limit of frames to animate. This means you have a series of PICTs, each with the same name followed by a sequential number: myPICT1,myPICT2,mPICT3... frames would represent the highest number in the sequence.
Parameter 5
delay: delay in 60ths of a second between frames
Parameter 6
loop: times to animate (ignore to loop until mouseDown)
NOTE: This is a change from earlier versions of TKshowPICT. Left and TOP positioning are now Parameter 2 and Parameter 3.

More Information
Use:›TKshowPICT "myPict",20,50,10,4
Animates a series of PICTs named "myPict1" through "myPict10" with a 4 tick delay between each drawing until the mouse is clicked.
Use:›TKshowPICT "myPict",20,50,10,4,10
Same as above but stops after 10 animations.
ÓÊThis XCMD was originally created to do animation and provide some color capabilities. TKshowPICT draws to the screen and not the card so ANY color in the PICT is displayed on an appropriate monitor. The graphics is easily interrupted by buttons that have AutoHilite turned on, screen locking, scrolling fields, or any kind of dialog box that covers the screen. Screen locking is an excellent way to "erase" the picture.
