for viewing .fli movie files (good for lossless compression of easily
encoded (eg png and gif files) animations, as long as you have plenty
of diskspace, doesn't need much CPU for decoding, and can be played
back at whatever desired rate) in an external xanim process with my
required flags:
\usepackage[screen,panelleft,code,paneltoc,sectionbreak]{pdfscreen}
%this is what I use - but you can probably get away with just href, or
%hyper or whatever it is (pdscreen imports the requisit module)
\href{file:/home/office/tconnors/fiducial/pview.fli}
add in ~/.mailcap:
application/fli;/home/office/tconnors/magellanic/xanimview %s
add in ~/.mime.types:
application/fli fli
and ~/magellanic/xanimview is:
xanim +o +Zp0 +Zpe +Zr +j50 "$@"
