-
a target speed (in Pics per second), which the
Animationwill roughly observe if possible - makeFrame
-
a function that generates the frames of the animation: it takes a frame number (>= 0) and returns the corresponding Pic
- numberOfFrames
-
the number of frames in the animation; the numbers
0 <= n < numberOfFramesget passed tomakeFrameto generate the animation - terminateOnClose
