ENVIPortal::Animate

The Animate method controls various animation actions between layers displayed in the portal.

Example

; Launch the application

e = ENVI()

; Create an ENVIRaster

file = FILEPATH('qb_boulder_msi', ROOT_DIR=e.ROOT_DIR, $

  SUBDIRECTORY = ['data'])

raster = e.OpenRaster(file)

; Create two layers

view = e.GetView()

layer1 = view.CreateLayer(raster)

layer2 = view.CreateLayer(raster, /CIR)

; Create a portal

portal = view.CreatePortal()

; Animate portal

portal.Animate, 2.0, /FLICKER

Syntax

ENVIPortal.Animate, Speed [, Keywords=value]

Arguments

Speed

A floating-point value representing the length of time that each layer is displayed in the portal (in seconds). The default value is 0.5.

Keywords

Keywords are applied only during the initial creation of the object.

If you do not set any animation keyword, the FLICKER keyword is automatically set.

BLEND

Set this keyword to exclusively enable blending in the portal.

ERROR

Set this keyword to a named variable that will contain any error message issued during execution of this routine. If no error occurs, the ERROR variable will be set to a null string (''). If an error occurs and the routine is a function, then the function result will be undefined.

When this keyword is not set and an error occurs, ENVI returns to the caller and execution halts. In this case, the error message is contained within !ERROR_STATE and can be caught using IDL's CATCH routine. See IDL Help for more information on !ERROR_STATE and CATCH.

See Manage Errors for more information on error handling in ENVI programming.

FLICKER

Set this keyword to exclusively enable flickering in the portal. This is the method default behavior.

SWIPE

Set this keyword to exclusively enable swiping in the portal.

OFF

Set this keyword to turn off the portal animation.
