NAME
       Animate - the AfterStep Animate module

SYNOPSIS
       Animate  is spawned by afterstep, so no command line invo-
       cation will work.  From within the autoexec file or  as  a
       menu option, Animate is spawned as follows:

       Module Animate

       or from within an afterstep pop-up menu by 'Animate' with-
       out 'Module':

       % cat "~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Animate iconify"
       Animate

DESCRIPTION
       The Animate module animates window actions.  It  currently
       animates iconification and deiconification in a zoom style
       or a twisty spinning style.

INITIALIZATION
       During initialization, Animate will  eventually  search  a
       configuration  file  which  describes  the  time-outs  and
       actions   to   take.    The    configuration    file    is
       ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/animate .

INVOCATION
       The invocation method was shown in the synopsis section

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
       Animate  reads ~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/animate when it
       starts up, and looks for certain configuration options:

       *AnimateColor color
              Tells Animate what color to draw with.

       *AnimateDelay msecs
              Tells  Animate  how  many  milliseconds  to   sleep
              between frames of animation.

       *AnimateIterations iterations
              Tells Animate how many steps to break the animation
              into.

       *AnimateTwist twist
              Tells Animate how many  revolutions  to  twist  the
              iconification frame.

       *AnimateWidth width
              Tells  Animate  how wide a line to draw with.  Note
              that with 0 is a fast line at Width 1

       *AnimateResize mode
              Tells Animate what method to use to  draw  resizes.
              zoom, twist, flip, turn & random are currently sup-
              ported.
