aemakeflic - produce an animation from an aewan document
aemakeflic [-f {less|sh}] [-N] [-b] [-d <delay>] input.ae
[outputfile.ext]
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.
- -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.
