This is the best animation in terms of showing both the shaft
            and the
            gear. The crank is misleading in relation to the actual way the
            engine
            is built, but easier to understand than a lobe hidden
   inside the
            rotor. -Jeff

            Yes. That is very very good. Break through in animating the
            Wankel IMHO. However the rotor is shown speeding up and slowing
            down which does not happen.

        It doesn't seem to speed up nor slow down on my computer.  In
   fact,
        I wish it would go slower.  Does anyone know how to adjust the
   speed
        of an animated gif?

   Nevermind..  I figured out that I can adjust frame rates in gimp...


   Matt-

   Really? Tell me how Matt.

Paul,

I saved the file to disk (right click, save as), and opened the file
with gimp (you have that on your linux box, or should - "gimp
wankel.gif").  When gimp opened it, it displayed the first frame in one
window and in another window (Layers Channels and Paths) it listed
thumbnails of all of the frames.  I double clicked on each frame and
edited the delay time for each Layer.  Then exported the image back to
an animated gif..  Let me know if yours doesn't work like that.


Matt-

Yes I have gimp. Thanks Matt.
