C Animate - the AfterStep Animate module Animate is spawned by afterstep, so no command line invocation will work. From within the .steprc file, Animate is spawned as follows:

Module Animate

or from within an afterstep pop-up menu:

Popup "Module-Popup"
 Title "Modules"
 Module "Wharf" Wharf
 Module "NoClutter" Clean
 Module "Identify" Ident
 Module "Banner" Banner
 Module "Debug" Debug
 Module "SaveDesktop" Save
 Module "Pager" Pager 0 3
 Module "Animate" Animate
EndPopup

The Animate module animates window actions. It currently animates iconification and deiconification in a zoom style or a twisty spinning style. During initialization, Animate will eventually search a configuration file which describes the time-outs and actions to take. The configuration file is the same file that afterstep used during initialization. The invocation method was shown in the synopsis section Animate reads the same .steprc file as fvwm reads when it starts up, and looks for certain configuration options: Tells Animate what color to draw with. Tells Animate how many milliseconds to sleep between frames of animation. Tells Animate how many steps to break the animation into. Tells Animate how many revolutions to twist the iconification frame. Tells Animate how wide a line to draw with. Note that with 0 is a fast line at Width 1 Tells Animate what method to use to draw resizes. zoom and twist are currently supported.
