Description : Create PDF animations from graphics files and inline
graphics.
This package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF
animations from sets of (vector) graphics or rasterized image files or from
inline (vector) graphics, such as LaTeX-picture, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ
generated pictures, or just from typeset text.
It supports the usual PDF making workflows, i. e. pdfLaTeX and LaTeX ->
dvips -> ps2pdf (Ghostscript).
The resulting PDF can be viewed in current Adobe Readers on all supported
platforms.
Asymptote uses animate.sty for creating animations, so it would be nice
to have animate.sty in Debian. It should be a low-maintenance package.
However, I don't have time to maintain another package as I'm already
far behind on my packaging duties. If anyone in the TeX maintainers
team is interested in packaging this, it would be great. (Or is there a
generic package for collecting miscellaneous LaTeX extras that aren't in
texlive?)
Thanks.
