Ok, Thank you very much ... no problem.
I Would say that this is like "Doctor House". Trying to find the problem.

Problem with animate package

Post by gmedina »

Hi,

I really doubt that this problem is caused by the editor. I did some tests using the code and images that you provided before (in the intento.rar file); here are the results:

Ubuntu 8.04 + TeX-Live2008 + Kile (2.0,3) + kpdf (0.5.10)
Result: failed (no errors nor warnings during compilation, but the animations don't show correctly).
Ubuntu 8.04 + TeX-Live2008 + Kile (2.0.3.) + Acrobat Reader (8.1.3)
Result: OK.
WindowsXP + MiKTeX2.8 + TeXworks + Acrobat Reader
Result: OK.

This suggests that this might be a viewer-related issue.

Edit: have you considered converting your EPS images to the PDF format (using, for example, epstopdf from the command line) and then compiling your document directly with PDFLaTeX (LaTeX => PDF)?

Two possible reasons haven't been discussed so far (see animate documentation):
  • Don't use dvips with option -Ppdf !!! Check the set-up of your editor. Perhaps it is configured to call dvips -Ppdf on the LaTeX => PS => PDF route.

    Ghostscript versions prior to 8.31 have a bug and animations will not work. Try `gs -h' or `gswin32c -h' on the command line, depending on your operating system.
BTW, the [<framerate>] argument of \newframe is optional. If you don't want to change the framerate during the animation from the value given with \begin{animateinline} you don't need to repeat it with every \newframe command (as you did in your code example).

Thank you both. I thing the problem is determined by the output configuration LaTeX => PS => PDF as alex has said.
Please answer this post http://www.latex-community.org/forum/vi ... 7&start=10

PD: I will continue with this until the end.
