# anim2gif [-b BASENAME] file.anim...
#
# This is a simple script to magick my own animation sequence file
# which basically is a list of IM command line options, with added
# comments back into a GIF Animations.      file.anim --> file_anim.gif
#
# The animation sequence file can be extracted from an existing GIF animation
# using the "gif2anim" script. It can also be generated using some other
# porgram, or by hand.  It does not actually even need to generate a GIF
# animation but could actually be any sequence of "magick" command line
# options.  However it is designed for generating GIF aniamtions.
#
# OPTIONS
#    -b framename   basename for the individual frames
#    -g             Add '.gif' to end of basename, not '_anim.gif'
#    -c             Input frames are coalesced, ignore any initial page size
#
# The options basically perform slight modifications to the input animation
# sequence file, and assumes it is in the format generated by the "gif2anim"
# script.  They are provided for convenience only.
#
# It does not currently attempt to optimize the animation in any way, unless
# that optimization was given in the animation sequence file given.
