     DESCRIPTION

     The "Options" subform allows you to control various features
     of the animate program, including animation speed and
     sequencing type.

     1. Animation Control
          This sequencing mechanism is a toggle between 'Loop',
          'Single' and in a continuously repeating loop.  When
          'Single' is selected, image bands will be displayed in
          order only once.  When 'Autoreverse' is selected, the
          entire set of image bands will be displayed in one
          direction, and then in the opposite direction;  the
          sequence will continue to play back and forth.

     2. Show Frame Number
          Regardless of which of the above sequencing methods you
          choose, it is often helpful to have the frame number of
          each data band displayed.  When this logical selection
          is set to "True", the frame number of the currently-
          displayed data band will appear in the upper left hand
          corner of the display window.

     3. Animate on Root Window
          In obscure situations, you may wish to display the ani-
          mation sequence on the root window of your display.  If
          desired, set this logical selection to "True".

     4. Speed
          The speed field controls how fast the bands in the
          image are to be sequenced.  The speed may be set by
          typing a value between 0 and 5 in the box, or may be
          selected by moving the scroll bar to the right of the
          speed field back and forth. The speed is in seconds,
          where 0.0 is as fast as possible on your machine, and
          5.0 is very slow. Note that 1/60 sec = 0.016 (normal
          frame rate for TV).  We DO NOT recommend that you set
          the frame speed to 0.0 in most situations, as this
          intensive operation will often make it extremely diffi-
          cult to re-gain control of the graphical user inter-
          face.
