movie


             movie, draw_frame  
          or movie, draw_frame, time_limit  
          or movie, draw_frame, time_limit, min_interframe  
 
     runs a movie based on the given DRAW_FRAME function.  The movie  
     stops after a total elapsed time of TIME_LIMIT seconds, which  
     defaults to 60 (one minute), or when the DRAW_FRAME function  
     returns zero.  
     func draw_frame(i)  
     {  
       // Input argument i is the frame number.  
       // draw_frame should return non-zero if there are more  
       // frames in this movie.  A zero return will stop the  
       // movie.  
       // draw_frame must NOT include any fma command if the  
       // making_movie variable is set (movie sets this variable  
       // before calling draw_frame)  
     }  
     If MIN_INTERFRAME is specified, a pauses will be added as  
     necessary to slow down the movie.  MIN_INTERFRAME is a time  
     in seconds (default 0).  
     The keyword bracket_time= (again a time in seconds) can be  
     used to adjust the duration of the pauses after the first  
     and last frames.  It may also be a two element array [beg, end].  
     If the pause at the end is greater than five seconds, you will  
     be prompted to explain that hitting  will abort the final  
     pause.  
     If every frame of your movie has the same limits, use the  
     limits command to fix the limits before you call movie.  
   BUG:  If you hit  to start a movie early, it will not  
         pause at the end of the movie at all.  You probably should  
         not use long initial pauses.

movie_stats


             movie_stats  
          or movie_stats, timing  
 
     prints statistics from the last movie command, or from the  
     command which produced TIMING.  TIMING is the contents of the  
     movie_timing external variable after the movie command completes.
