# Introduction
# ============
# "mkanim1.sh" is a shell library to produce animated gifs.
# This file is a friend of:
#   (find-myqdraw "topdf1.mac")
#
# In short: topdf1.mac is a library to produce animations in Maxima,
# but it only produces frames, each one as a separate PDF; then we can
# use the function "makeflipbook" in this file to produce a multipage
# PDF that works as a flipbook, and the function "makeanim" to convert
# the multipage PDF to an animated gif.
#
# I usually call just "makeboth" to produce the flipbook in PDF first,
# and then the animated git. For example:
#
#   ./mkanim1.sh makeboth anim.gif flipbook.pdf 001.pdf 002.pdf
#

#   (find-git-intro "2. A first test")
#   (find-git-intro "2. A first test" "/tmp/eevgitlib1.sh")

# These functions call `qdpf' to glue several one-page/one-frame pdfs
# into a multi-page/multi-frame pdf can be used as a flipbook, and
# they call `convert' - from ImageMagick - to convert that flipbook to
# an animated gif.

# Note that:
#  "ECHO=and_run commandandargs" echoes commandandargs and runs it, and

# The test block uses "ECHO=echo" to test the functions in this

# `mkanim1.sh' is a _library_ that defines several variables and shell
# functions, but it ends with the
#
#   eval "$*"
#
# below, and that `eval' runs the arguments to `mkanim1.sh' in an
# environment in which all those variable and shell functions are
# defined. For example, consider these three lines:
#
#   [1] ./mkanim1.sh ECHO=echo makeboth anim.gif flipbook.pdf 001.pdf 002.pdf
#   [2]        eval "ECHO=echo makeboth anim.gif flipbook.pdf 001.pdf 002.pdf"
#   [3]              ECHO=echo makeboth anim.gif flipbook.pdf 001.pdf 002.pdf
#
# When we run [1] it defines several variables and functions,
# including `ECHO=' and `makeboth () {...}', and then it runs the
# `eval "$*"'; that `eval "$*"' runs [2], that runs [3] in that
# environment; the `ECHO=echo' overrides the `ECHO=' from here,
#
#   (to "variables")
#
# and then the `makeboth' just echoes this:
#
#   makeflipbook flipbook.pdf 001.pdf 002.pdf
#   makeanim anim.gif flipbook.pdf
#
# it does a "dry run", in this sense:
#
#   (find-node "(make)Instead of Execution" "-n" "--dry-run")
#
eval "$*"
