Victor,
<p>I manage to generate <b>simple animated gifs</b> by generating
ppm's from a <b>tcl/tk</b> wraparound by calling:
<br>
<p>proc Gen_PPM {name} {
<br>puts "NAME=$name.ppm"
<br>[Renderer(.backdrop.drawing) GetRenderWindow] Render
<br>[Renderer(.backdrop.drawing) GetRenderWindow] SetFileName $name.ppm
<br>[Renderer(.backdrop.drawing) GetRenderWindow] SaveImageAsPPM
<br>}
<p>where .backdrop.drawing is the vtkTkRenderWidget.
<p>I then , from the set of ppm's , use a <b>ppm2gifanim</b> executable
which I got free from the net.
<br>[Note: I'm in windows]
<p>Further:
<p>I use <b>gifsicle</b> (free from the net) behind a tcl/tk editor
( which I wrote) to merge/delete/add frames and adjust speens and transparent
backrounds.
<p>This works quite well for small animations. Further tk widgets and other
vtkTkRenderWidgets can be embedded in .backdrop.drawing.
<p>Let me know if you want more information.
