Dear Haje

we are using an own format for the animation files we need.
They could be played by idl with an own animation routine or they could
be converted to mpeg over jpg images by convert.

The idl player is able to play synchronized the animations you select

http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _html/dbase/x_animate_dbase.pro.html

wget
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _html/dbase/download/x_animate.sav

and here is a small example:

wget
http://www.fz-juelich.de/icg/icg-i/idl_icglib/idl_source/idl _work/fr_lib/creaso_examples/c3h8.anim

IDL> x_animate

Please use the FILE Button to select the anim file.

best regards
Reimar
