Animate(1.4)
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.

configuration file which describes the time-outs and
actions to take. The configuration file is
~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/animate .
