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.
