- Tk::Animation - Display sequence of Tk::Photo images
-
- =for pm Tk/Animation.pm
-
- =for category Tk Image Classes
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use Tk::Animation
- my $img = $widget->Animation('-format' => 'gif', -file => 'somefile.gif');
-
- $img->add_frame(@images);
-
- $img->start_animation($period);
- $img->stop_animation;
-
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- In the simple case when C<Animation> is passed a GIF89 style GIF with
- multiple 'frames', it will build an internal array of C<Photo> images.
-
- The C<add_frame> method adds images to the sequence. It is provided
- to allow animations to be constructed from separate images.
- All images must be C<Photo>s and should all be the same size.
-
- C<start_animation($period)> then initiates a C<repeat> with specified I<$period>
- to sequence through these images. As for raw C<repeat> I<$period> is in milli-seconds,
- for a 50Hz monitor it should be at least 20mS.
-
- C<stop_animation> cancels the C<repeat> and resets the image to the first
- image in the sequence.
-
- =head1 BUGS
-
- The 'period' should probably be a property of the Animation object
- rather than specified at 'start' time. It may even be embedded
- in the GIF.
