Cretaes video by FFmpeg with animation of dataset rotated

Description

This function opens a graphics device to record the images produced in the code expr, then uses FFmpeg to convert these images to a video.

Usage

rotation2dAnimation(conf2d,
ani.interval=0.2,
ani.nmax=361,
ani.width=500,
ani.height=500,
ani.video.name="mds_rotate.mp4",
angle.start=-pi,
angle.stop=pi,
angle.step=pi/180)

Arguments

conf2d	two dimensional dataset ot matrix
ani.video.name	the file name of the output video (e.g. ‘animation.mp4’ or ‘animation.avi’)
ani.interval	interval betwwen animation frames
ani.nmax	maximal number of frames
ani.width	width of movie
ani.height	height of movie
angle.start	starting angle for animation
angle.stop	end angle for animation
angle.step	step of animation in radians

Details

This function uses system to call FFmpeg to convert the images to a single video. The command line used in this function is: ffmpeg -y -r <1/interval> -i <img.name>%d.<ani.type> other.opts video.name

where interval comes from ani.options('interval'), and ani.type is from ani.options('ani.type'). For more details on the numerous options of FFmpeg, please see the reference.

Some linux systems may use the alternate software 'avconv' instead of 'ffmpeg'. The package will attempt to determine which command is present and set ani.options('ffmpeg') to an appropriate default value. This can be overridden by passing in the ffmpeg argument.

Value

An integer indicating failure (-1) or success (0) of the converting (refer to system).
