anim_time — estimate appropriate time parameters for path

OPTIONS

-m#

Specify the maximum number of points to be read. This default to 64, so you must use this option if you want to use tables with more than 64 points.

-s#

Specify the starting speed of the object. If this option is not specified, then the object is assumed to be initially travelling on a pace to negotiate the entire path in the given time at a constant rate. The argument must be positive and no greater than three times the speed needed to traverse the path at a constant rate.

-e#

Specify the final speed of the object. If this option is not specified, then the object is assumed to end up travelling on a pace to negotiate the entire path in the given time at a constant rate. The argument must be positive and no greater than three times the speed needed to traverse the path at a constant rate.

-i#

Specify the initial speed of the object, relative to the speed that would negotiate the given path at a constant rate. For example, an argument of 2.0 means twice the speed needed to traverse the path at a constant rate. Must lie between 0.0 and 3.0.

-f#

Specify the final speed of the object, relative to the speed that would negotiate the given path at a constant rate. Must lie between 0.0 and 3.0.

-v

Verbose option. The output table will contain a time column and three position columns. If this option is not specified, only the new time column will be printed.

-q

Query the total distance. If this option is specified, the only output will be a number representing the total length of the input path.
