When to Use the GIFANIM Device Driver

The GIFANIM device driver is useful for slide shows or animations that do not need to be controlled by the Web user. Infinite looping is appropriate for unattended kiosk displays. To enable the Web user to specify the display rate, change the size of the animation, drill down for additional information, and utilize the optimal rendering capabilities of the SAS/GRAPH Java library, use the JAVAMETA device driver. This device driver generates Web presentations that run in the Metaview Applet, as described in Developing Web Presentations for the Metaview Applet on page 469.
