GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 637232
support TikZ animations
Last modified: 2013-10-31 02:35:36 UTC
Here is a large number of examples: http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/tag/animations/ I'm not sure how TikZ handles animations, it might be javascript, it might not be. If it turns out to be javascript then this is a duplicate of this old bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338721 Otherwise it is a feature in it's own right. If people with more knowledge of the inner workings of TikZ animations, as well as some knowledge of evince wanted to give me a roadmap, I would love to help implement this feature.
I checked one of the animations: http://media.texample.net/tikz/examples/PDF/animated-definite-integral.pdf I can confirm that the buttons don't respond in evince (GNOME Document Viewer 2.30.3 from Ubuntu 10.04) like they do in acroread version 9.4.1. It does seem to have a number of javascript scripts in it associated with buttons. So I'd support making this a dup of 338721 and perhaps making these good test cases for adding javascript. TikZ is a TeX package for creating graphics via an API.
