animtext
--------

This (not yet released) tool creates animations from a simple python
description file. For example, it turns this::


    from animtext import TextBlock, MultiBlock
    class Header(TextBlock):
	width=150
	font_family="arial"
	font_weight="bold"
	font_size=11
	texts=["Play it safe"]
	align="center"
	bg="#4A86BD"
	fg="white"
	padding=4

    class Body(TextBlock):
	width=150
	font_family="arial"
	font_size=11
	texts=[ 
	    "Let your family and friends know you are safe during your travels. _*More ...*_",
	    "Have your family and friends leave you voicemail messages for free. _*More ...*_",
	    "Receive government email travel alerts, and listen to them over the phone. _*More ...*_"
	]

	align="left"
	bg="#E2EDF7"
	fg="#4A86BD"
	showtime=3.0
	fadetime=0.2
	fadesteps=5
	padding=4

    class TableBlock(MultiBlock):
	output="ekit-out/%05d.bmp"
	border=1
	bordercolor="#4A86BD"
	layout="vertical"
	padding=0
	subObjects = [Header(), Body()]

    block = TableBlock()
