anim_demo

 ANIM_DEMO Demonstration of how to make a FLC movie in Matlab/UNIX
 using ANIM_FRAME and ANIM_MAKE.  

 The technique is to grab each frame exactly as it appears in the
 figure window using GETFRAME (a.k.a. CAPTURE) to get the image,
 and then using IMWRITE to output the image to a file.  These images
 are then assembled into a FLC format animation using the Unix program
 "ppm2fli".  Since IMWRITE doesn't write out the PPM images that 
 "ppm2fli" natively uses, we use the '-f ' option in ppm2fli and supply
  the name of a pcx to ppm conversion routine "pcxtoppm" and "convert"
  are popular free programs that build easily on nearly all UNIX platforms
  as the filter (or conversion) program. See ANIM_MAKE.m for details
  about where to get these UNIX programs. 

 To run ANIM_DEMO, you need PPM2FLI installed and in your UNIX path, 
 available at:  http://vento.pi.tu-berlin.du/ppm2fli/main.html
 
 You also need a PCX to PPM conversion tool installed.  See ANIM_MAKE.m
 for details.
