Animated examples for BeepBeep

This repository contains animated image files that illustrate the execution of various chains of BeepBeep processors. If you don't know what BeepBeep is, please first visit its website. Here is an example of one such animation:

Eventually, some of these examples may be merged into BeepBeep's Javadoc, but for now they only exist in this stand-alone repository.

Periodically, a release will bundle all the GIF, PDF and SVG files of all the examples in their current state.

How does it work?

The repository is made of SVG files, which are multi-layer documents that can be used to create slides with inkscapeslidex.

To generate everything

In the Examples folder, call:

make all

To generate an animated GIF

In the Examples folder, call:

inkscapeslidex --format gif somefile.svg

Where somefile.svg is one of the SVG files. The result is a file called somefile.gif, which is an animated GIF of the slideshow.

To generate a multi-page PDF

Call:

inkscapeslidex somefile.svg

Dependencies

• inkscapeslidex
• CPDF is optional. It is required to create PDFs that start automatically in single-page mode.
• ImageMagick
• GNU Make

Changing speed and size

• To change the speed of the generated GIFs, modify the value of variable DELAY in Examples/tofig.sh.
• To change the size of the generated PNGs, replace the parameter -d 64 in line 171 of Examples/svgtopng.py by another value (64 is the resolution in dpi of the exported images).
