NAME
     Animate - the AfterStep Animate module

SYNOPSIS
     Animate  is  spawned by afterstep, so no command line invocation will work.
     From within the .steprc file, Animate is spawned as follows:

     Module Animate

     or from within an afterstep pop-up menu:

     Popup "Module-Popup"
	  Title   "Modules"
	  Module  "Wharf"	  Wharf
	  Module  "NoClutter"	  Clean
	  Module  "Identify"	  Ident
	  Module  "Banner"	  Banner
	  Module  "Debug"	  Debug
	  Module  "SaveDesktop"   Save
	  Module  "Pager"	  Pager 0 3
	  Module  "Animate"	  Animate
     EndPopup

DESCRIPTION
     The Animate module animates window actions.  It currently animates iconifi-
     cation and deiconification in a zoom style or a twisty spinning style.

INITIALIZATION
     During initialization, Animate will eventually search a configuration  file
     which  describes the time-outs and actions to take.  The configuration file
     is the same file that afterstep used during initialization.

INVOCATION
     The invocation method was shown in the synopsis section

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
     Animate reads the same .steprc file as fvwm reads when it	starts	up,  and
     looks for certain configuration options:

     *AnimateColor color
	    Tells Animate what color to draw with.

     *AnimateDelay msecs
	    Tells  Animate how many milliseconds to sleep between frames of ani-
	    mation.

     *AnimateIterations iterations
	    Tells Animate how many steps to break the animation into.

     *AnimateTwist twist
	    Tells Animate how many revolutions to twist the iconification frame.

     *AnimateWidth width
	    Tells Animate how wide a line to draw with.  Note that with 0  is  a
	    fast line at Width 1

     *AnimateResize mode
	    Tells  Animate  what  method to use to draw resizes.  zoom and twist
	    are currently supported.
