embed
This module provides an interface to the LaTeX
package
(included with MikTeX
)
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/movie15
for embedding movies, sounds, and 3D objects into a PDF document.
However, XeLaTeX
users need to rename the modified version
movie15_dvipdfmx.sty
from
http://asymptote.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/asymptote/trunk/asymptote/patches/
to movie15.sty
and place it in their LaTeX
path.
The latest version of the movie15
package requires both
pdflatex
version 1.20 or later and the file
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/ifdraft.dtx
which can be installed by placing it in a directory ifdraft
in
the local LaTeX
directory
(e.g. /usr/local/share/texmf/tex/latex/ifdraft
) and executing in that
directory the commands:
tex ifdraft.dtx texhash
A more portable method for embedding movie files, which should work on any
platform and does not require the movie15
or ifdraft
packages, is provided by using the external
module instead of
embed
. An example of these
interfaces is provided in the file embeddedmovie.asy
and
externalmovie.asy
in the animations
subdirectory of the
examples directory. For a higher quality movie generated directly by
Asymptote
, use the animate
module along with the
animate.sty
package to embed a portable PDF animation
(see animate).
An example of embedding U3D
code is provided in the file
embeddedu3d.asy
.
