• New on CTAN: anima

    From CTAN Announcements@21:1/5 to CTAN Announcements on Wed Nov 20 20:33:06 2024
    Adriano Gomes de Santana submitted the

    anima

    package.

    Version: 1.0

    Summary description: Create slideshows with simple animations

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The idea for this package arose from noticing that including the
    |\pause| command from the |beamer| class within the |\foreach|
    loop command from the |tikz| package creates a sequence of frames,
    where each slide presents a step in the construction of the image.
    The purpose of the |anima| class is to provide macros that simplify
    the use of this effect for creating animated slide presentations.

    Although the functionality of this class can be compared to the
    transition effects of the |beamer| class, it is not a dependency
    of the |anima| class. However, the class makes extensive use of
    the image creation language provided by the |tikz| package.
    Lastly, it is worth noting a comparison between this class
    and the |animate| package. The |animate| package can create
    embedded animations within the document, while the |anima|
    class produces an animation where each frame corresponds
    to a page of the document. This distinction highlights
    the different design goals of the |anima| class.
