Default GFS Animation !


"Brendan DJ Murphy" wrote in message
...
I have been having a small amount of success in my project to dynamically

create animation GIF
files from still images. I have written a small single MS-DOS batch file

which, when run,
automatically downloads images and then creates animations. Have a look

and tell me if you find it
useful.

All I need to do now is to set up a scheduled task in Windows to run my

batch-file at regular
intervals!
BEWARE. The GFS animation is about 3 MEG ! but I think it looks pretty

cool*
I might have to shrink the image size or skip alternate frames or reduce

the number of colours to
reduce its size .
Any ideas or suggestions ?

(* "cool" as in a forecast of some cold weather!)


That's great!

Any chance of posting the text of the batch file as I have another use for
something like that
