Start Animation Script

[carlospsneto]

How can i start animation using script?

Is there any function that starts an animation ( play) ?

Hello-

At this time there is no easy way to get the animation to start through scripting (however, our scripting capabilities are constantly evolving and I just read mhiley's post in the other thread, so at least there is a way).

We were also wondering why you are interested in this capability for background scripting? The writeMovie function will take an image sequence and create an animating loop in a movie file. If you are running commands in the jython shell, then you can just use the interactive controls to start the animating.

Also, when creating/restoring bundles, if you turn animation on and then save the bundle, animation will be on when reloading the bundle.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks, Jay

Hello Jay,

you helped me alot in these last days, thank you.
I was creating a script that could display images from meteosat that are processed here where i work. I was hoping i could let McIDAs-V running operationally with these images.
