Description
-----------
A program for creating simple abstract animations. Saves to X3D files, so as
well as viewing the results in the program itself, you can also view them in
an X3D browser (like Heilan: http://www.niallmoody.com/heilan/ ).

Install
-------
For Windows, just drag the binary to wherever you want to install it.
For Linux, you'll need the JUCE library (at least v1.39, get it from:
http://www.rawmaterialsoftware.com/juce/ ).  By default the configure script
assumes it's at ../../juce, but you can change this with the --with-JUCE=<path>
setting.  Other than that, it's the usual ./configure;make;make install
incantation.

Usage
-----
You have control over 4 polygons, each with 4 draggable points and their own
colour.  The polygons' points may change over time, but the colour may not.  To
change a polygon's colour, clicking one of the 4 colours buttons at the top will
bring up a colour selector.  Animation is done via 'key-frames' - to store the
polygons' positions at the current time position, click the store button.  To
change the current time, the '<' and '>' buttons will retreat or advance the
current time by one second, and you can also alter the time display by hand if
you want finer control.  The key-frames' times are stored as relative positions
rather than absolute ones - this means that you have to set your desired length
before you start adding key-frames, or they won't appear where you expect.

The play/stop button plays back your animation.  To hide the polygons' draggable
points, make sure the main canvas has focus (click it) and press F2 on your
keyboard.  Pressing it again will bring them back.  If you want to move a
polygon without changing its shape, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging a
point.
