# AniGif Package written in pure Tcl/Tk

# AniGif is distributed under the same license as Tcl/Tk. As of
# AniGif 1.2, this license is applicable to all previous versions.
#
# ############################### USAGE
#################################
#
#::anigif::anigif FILENAME WIDGET INDEX
# FILENAME: appropriate path and file to use for the animated gif
# WIDGET: a label widget to place the animated gif into
# DELAY: how long to wait before loading next image (Default:
100ms)
# INDEX: what image to begin on (first image is 0) (Default: 0)
#
#::anigif::stop WIDGET
#::anigif::restart WIDGET INDEX
# INDEX: defaults to next index in loop
#::anigif::destroy WIDGET
#
# NOTES:
# There is currently a -zoom and -subsample hack to keep
transparency
# This does not handle interlaced gifs properly. The image will
look
# distorted.
# A delay of 0 in an image stops the image at that point (I have
only
# encountered this on single-play gifs that have 0 as their last
# frame delay. Please let me know if you encounter it at another
# point.
#
# ############################## HISTORY
#################################
#
# 1.2: Now handles single playthrough gifs or gifs with partial
images
# Fixed bug in delay time (unsigned int was being treated as
signed)
# 1.1: Reads default timing instead of 100 ms or user-defined.
# You can no longer set the delay manually.
# 1.0: Moved all anigif variables to the anigif namespace
# 0.9: Initial release
