    2. Create a New folder at the desktop. Enter a name for the file and click 'Save'.
      --> The animation file (.eva) and all the external files (sound, music, image, photo) will be saved into the folder. These external files must exist in the same folder as the animation file.
    Batch conversion
    You can make shell script to convert many EVA files to various animation formats.
    • By using the following script (auto.sh), you can get two converted SVG files from two EVA files. Locate this script in the same folder with '9va-pi'.
      (auto.sh example 1)
      ./9va-pi "Full path name of EVA-1 file.eva" "-svg"
      ./9va-pi "Full path name of EVA-2 file.eva" "-svg"

    • You can change picture size or change play time by using options as follows.
    • If you put -gif,-apng,-svg, -mp4 at the head of parameter, you can use 9va-win to convert animations.
      option description [default value] example
      -gif Animated GIF Export "-gif...."
      -apng APNG Export "-apng...."
      -png Sequential PNGs Export
      The number declares a starting frame number of the animation. [0]
      "-png...."
      "-png100-num100"
      -bmp Sequential BMPs Export
      The number declares a starting frame number of the animation. [0]
      "-bmp...."
      "-bmp100-num100"
      -svg Animated SVG Export "-svg...."
      -mp4 Movie Export "-mp4...."
      -w Width [Calculated from height, or the width of animation] -w400
      -h Height [Calculated from width, or the height of animation] -h300
      -sec Play time (sec) [Play time of animation] -sec4.5
      -fps Frame per sec [10] (mp4:[30]) -fps4.5
      -num Maximum Number of Sequential frames output [sec x fps] -num100
      -from The first number of Sequential frames output [Original frame number] -from0
      -trans Transparent background [Not transparent] -trans
      -smooth Smoothing edge [No smoothing]
      -smooth
      -r -g -b Color of outside (r,g,b) [If transparent then Black(0,0,0) else White(255,255,255)] -r255 -g0 -b0 (Red)
      -loop Loop count [0, forever] -loop1
      -o Output File Name [Original name.eva + extension] -ofilename.gif
      (auto.sh example 2)
      ./9va-pi "Full path name of EVA file.eva" "-apng-w300-loop1-trans"
      APNG animation (EVA file.eva.png) is output. The width of the output animation is 300 dot (the height is calculated according the aspect ratio ) , loop count is one, the background is transparent.
      (auto.bat example 3)
      ./9va-pi "Full path name of EVA file" "-gif-oout.gif-sec2"
      GIF animation (out.gif) is output. The play time of the output animation is 2 seconds.
    • GIF's loop count is differnt according to browsers.
