PROGRAMS USING THE FILES

  - Personal Paint from version 7.+

MAIN APPLICATION

 - Using Personal Paint 7.+ in conjunction with PPaint's SaveAnimGIf.pprx 

INSTALLATION

  - Copy  'WebAnimDesigner.pprx' to PPaint:Rexx
    
DESCRIPTION
- WebAnimDesigner is a simulator of what you would get if you saved your current
 animation as an animated gif using various settings of transparency, dispose, etc.
 and one of three optimizations--no optimization (all frames same size), boundaries
 optimization (animated objects on clean fields are tightly framed, so frame size
 and position will vary from frame to frame), and deltas optimization (any animation
 where background is relatively constant-after the first frame, the frames are made
 out of deltas).
-As a bonus, Cloanto's SaveAnimGIf is incorporated into the script, modified so it
 1) accepts info from the WAD requester and directly from the animation (instead of
 generating its own requester) and 2)so it allows the setting of transparency and
 dispose in all possible ways.(Thanx to Oscar Sillani of Cloanto for info.) This
 means that instead of 1 way of saving in boundaries optimized, and 1 way of saving
 in deltas optimization, each can be saved in 4 ways. With the addition of
 no-optimization, technically there are 12 ways of saving your animation to animated
 gif, instead of 2 ways provided by the original SaveAnimGif.pprx.
-The purpose of WAD is to enable the more advanced animaed gif designer, to
 implement exotic combinations of dispose, transparency, and optimization, in order
 to achieve maximum effects for minimum filesize.
-SEE THE HTML GUIDE THAT IS PART OF THE PPRX_WAD.LHA ARCHIVES BEGINNING WITH VERSION
 1.2 , FOR MORE INFORMATION

REVISION HISTORY:
-version 1.2 ---fixed loop problem (was running only once) so when saved loops
 infinitely---Loops can be explicitly set----HTML GUIDE CREATED
-version 1.1 --further improved the requester panel to suit the way it would be used
-version 1.0 --the way it is used is figured out, and reflected in a new requester
 design
-versions before 1.0 explore the practical aspects of operation, and also contained
 a few problems.
