<div dir="ltr">Hi<br>another thing you can do is use 'gifsicle', a very useful program that can make animation from gif files<br>though this can make the script very long<br>if you want i can give you an example of a script<br>

Kim WonMoo's method sets up a script loop that does nothing except use CPU cycles to cause a delay between frames in the animation. This is a brute force method that may result in drastically different delay lengths depending on machine speed and CPU usage by other processes at any given time. A better way to introduce a delay between frames is to use double buffer mode and the Unix 'sleep' command, e.g.<br>
<br>
'set dbuff on'<br>
<div class="im">it=1<br>
while (it<=20)<br>
'set t 'it<br>
'd slp'<br>
</div>'swap'<br>
'!sleep 1'<br>
it=it+1<br>
endwhile<br>
<br>
The only problem here is that the minimum sleep time is 1 second, which is rather long for an animation. On some Linux machines there is a 'usleep' command that allows the user to specify the delay time in microseconds, e.g.<br>
<br>
'!usleep 500000'<br>
<br>
to sleep for 0.5 second. If your system has the usleep command, use it instead of sleep so you can specify a delay of less than 1 second. Using double buffer mode along with the sleep or usleep command produces a nice animation without having to use the mouse or keyboard to advance the frames.<br>

Or, just insert dummy loop inside,<br>
<br>
it=1<br>
while (it<=20)<br>
'set t 'it<br>
'd slp'<br>
idummy=1<br>
while (idummy<=100000)<br>
idummy=idummy+1<br>
endwhile<br>
it=it+1<br>
endwhile<br>
<br>
to avoid keep pressing key-board.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>

Dear,<br>
Friends<br>
<br>
I have netCDf file containing the daily average value of a parameter. I am using following script to view the plots of 5 to 10 days in looping. But the speed of looping is so fast and it is difficult to see any pattern in the output. I want to control the speed of this looping. Is there any way?<br>
<br>
'set t 1 20'<br>
'd slp'<br>
