An enhanced version of the Java image animator (Ani2) submitted by Scott Bachmeier. The applet now uses an external metadata file to store attributes of the animation (e.g., frame delay, scale dimensions, cropping rectangle, etc.).
At the request of Rudolf Husar, I have placed the Java class file (Ani2.class) and a template HTML file (template_java.html) into my anonymous ftp area on planck.ssec.wisc.edu (in the pub directory). This Java applet animates a series of GIF images (for example, Ani2 will loop 3 GIF images named image0, image1, and image2 -- filenames must end with a number, and the initial number must be zero).
