I've added a few more animations since my last post. They can be accessed at http://www.tlhiv.org/animations There is one in particular that, I think, is quite impressive. It is an animation of a function f(x,y,t) where t is time. It is available at the aforementioned link or directly at

Dear Wolfgang, Thank you for the explanation and the correction of the code. It works nicely. It also taught me some other things too. I'd like to ask you one more thing. When you update the animation module, would you please concern the location of the menu? I think that it is better to put

One thing, which you may know, gear teeth do not normally have rectangular profiles. This must be what Hans was talking about. Are you using the animations, or some frames perhaps, in a ConTeXt document? Well, actually I'm using ConTeXt/MetaPost to generate each frame of the animation
