Animation Widget


Description:  This widget is used for displaying a series of images as animation.  The user can select the speed, direction or specific frames in the animation. Note that this is an IDL built-in routine that is used by SeaDAS programs.  The Colors button used for loading the color LUT does not apply to SeaDAS and therefore, should NOT be used.

Action Items:
Play Control The four bitmap buttons are reverse play, pause, forward play and cycle.  Use them to select a direction or to pause the animation and view a specific frame state.
Animation Speed  The slider to control the speed of the animation.  Moving it to the far right is one hundred percent, as fast as the animation can go.
Animation Frame The slider to view single frames from the animation.  The animation must be paused to use the frame selection slider.
End Animation To stop the animation and close the widget.
Colors To load the IDL color LUT manipulation widget.  Since SeaDAS has certain colors reserved for special purposes, the IDL version of color LUT manipulation should NOT be used for SeaDAS programs.
Help To display the IDL version of online help for this widget.
