Display a Slide Show

RockWorks | Graphics | Animate | Slideshow

This program displays raster images in a "slideshow" format. The Slideshow program reads the names of the images from the datasheet, and requires only two columns of information: The names of the images to be displayed in the "slide show," and the delay time between frame display. Supported raster formats include: BMP, JPG, EMF, WMF, PCX, PNG, TGA, and TIFF.

Step-by-Step Summary

1. Select the Graphics | Animate | Slideshow menu option.
2. Access the Datasheet pane in the Slideshow window.
3. Open a data file that contains a listing of raster file names and time delays. The supported file types are listed above. The image files that you list in the Datasheet must reside in the project folder.
4. Set the File Column prompt to the column where the image names are listed.

   The program will read the listed images and display them in a slide show window.

5. Use the fairly standard slide show controls to play the images individually or as a looping "movie" at the indicated delays.

6. To exit the slide show program, click the Exit button.
