Dear Arachnids/nauts/ophiles, In re-working an aniGIF for Hallowe'en, I was reminded of a "feature" Arachne has when these animations are compressed via the use of cropping to dirty rectangles. Cropping is an automated process whereby only the rectangle enclosing the portion of each frame containing a change is saved to the new file. When the aniGIF is played each frame should be cleared by the background when it has been displayed for its allotted time. Arachne does not clear the frame so a subsequent frame, if cropped to a smaller area, will leave remnants of the image from the preceding frame. All will become clear with a visit to: http://www.wymondhamleics.freeserve.co.uk/bats.htm (25kB) The left-hand bat gets its wings in a flap. Our use of the Web isn't really handicapped by this problem, but re-working an aniGIF to accommodate Arachne takes some time. With regards, Jake, plus werewolves, whatwolves and whenwolves. -- the World on a floppy -- -- Arachne V1.66, NON-COMMERCIAL copy, http://arachne.cz/
