Helo,

You hadn't specified which OS you are using, thus explanationS follow.

Mathematica for MacOS has a feauture of saving an animation as .mov, which
you can later convert into .avi and even later in gif89a (aka animated gif).

Mathematica for Linux and Windows does not have a feautute of this kind.
However, this works:

1. An animation in Mathematica is a sequence of still images. Somehow save
those images in a List (e.g. s=Append[s,Graphics[f(t)]]).
2. Export["nameoftheimage.gif",s,"GIF",ConversionOptions->{...}].
Directory[] will show you the location of the file, directory canbe changed
via SetDirectory[...].
3. Look for the ConversionOptions (e.g. Disposal, Loop, Transparency, ...)
in Help.

This procedure is fairly slow (time consuming) and I am deeply interested in
faster one.

For Unix platforms there is a small application for creating such agif from
Mathematica animation on MathSource I believe.

bye,


Borut, a student
