'''makes html with javascript to animate a sequence of images'''

__author__ = 'Brian Fiedler'
# This module can be imported to access the function makeanim. 
# Or it can be run independently as a script from the command line.
# Suppose the command "ls mydir/*.png" gives the list of files to be animated.
#
# python janim.py myimages/*.png > myanimator.html
# 
# python janim.py -i listofimageurls.txt -o myanimator.html -t "rainfall animation"
#
# myanimator.html wll be viewable in a browser, but you may want to add more html to it.
# Or you can embed myanimator.html within another web page, with html code like:
# <object type="text/html" data="myanimator.html" width="930" height="680" >error message here</object>
# (The width and height in the above example is for 900x600 images, with controls at the bottom.)
#
# Alternative to using janim.py from the command line:
# files = glob.glob("pngs/*.png")
# janim.makeanim(files,outfile="myanimator.html",sortOrder=True,ctlOnSide=True,titlestring="rainfall animation")
#
# For a similar animator, but with more features, see http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/hanis/

    # possible to append more paths to files:
