animate



Short Description:
animate -base with one of the first basename being an image and the other being an sequence. The image is padded out to have the same number of frames as the sequence before they are appended.

Original Rpt:


% kcp -i image:ball -o b.1 % kcp -i sequence:baby -o b.2

% animate -base b

The baby doesn't show up until frame 40. The images should only be padded to match widths and heights if being appended along depth, time, or elements.

There is also an annoying offset message printed which I think is data services's large data set support. The last image is also smeared, which I suspect is also data services.

Notes :
A good solution maybe to have Animate object handle basename. This would alleviate many problems having to do with kapu_append.

editcmap's doc should reflect that editcmap is mostly useful in cantata where modifying the colormap drives the pipeline. So in conjunction with some visual display it allows you to visually manipulate a colormap of some down stream visual display program.

This is the same bug that causes many of the plotting example programs to core dump.

This version of SGI Motif installs it's own "optimized" SetValues method, which calls a routine called _SG_XtSetValuesCleanup(), which in turn calls a nonexistent function, causing the calling application to seg fault or bus error on startup.

We probably won't be able to *fix* this, but hopefully we can somehow work around it so that _SG_XtSetValuesCleanup() isn't called.

In Xprism, if you plot the sin(cos(x)) from -3*pi to +3*pi and specify to plot 0 points, Xprism crashes. If you give it a number of points to plot greater than zero, it plots something but it didn't seem to be plotting the correct values.

in xprism, when the Area Menuform is open, you cannot switch between areas - the highlighted area is indeed the one you select, but when you change something it changes only the area you first opened the menuform for.

reproduce by: plot 2 fcns, then go to Options and select an Area, then open the Area menuform. while this window is open, select a the other area and change something.

xprism crashes on both of the noise fcns (if you plot them at the same time). if not it sez "unknown variable or constant 'unoise'".

it also crashes with seg fault on step(x). run xprism, leave all defaults, enter step(x) and click Plot Function

The Numberic Label Format X and Y fields in the Precise Axis Attributes form can be changed to invalid values, ie. %z etc. If %s is used, it causes an error window to appear, but after that, you can enter %g and it does not update plot. If you manage to get it back by entering various values in the field %d, %h etc, and then go back and use %c or %s, it gives a segmentation fault and the program crashed.
