Animation viewer

Glenn Horrocks

Hi all,

I am currently having problems finding a good viewer for some CFD work I am doing. My solution is a transient flow so I want to animate the data.

I am currently producing frames of the animation in AVS .x format, then converting the frames to GIFs then joining the frames together to make animated GIFs. The best utility I have at the moment for viewing the animated GIFs is Netscape - it plays the animation from beginning to end OK, but it does not allow you to look at the individual frames or to change the speed of the animation.

Does anyone know of a better animated GIF viewer which will allow me to view individual frames? Or maybe I should try a different format? I prefer to generate the individual frames as AVS .x files, but I can convert it from there into just about any other format. The "Framer" utility which comes with TecPlot is about what I want, but I don't know how to convert my files into the raster metafiles it requires.

Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Glenn
