Onda isn't a paint program like DPaint because it hasn't the classic tools
for the paint such as lines and circles.

It's not a graphic program 3D.

With this program it's possible to create quickly particular animations in the
GIF ANIM format for a suitable use in the WEB pages.

Load............allows to read from the harddisk a image in the IFF format
                max 150 x 150 256 colours.
Wave type.......it's the effect type to apply to the loaded image.

Accuracy........calculation accuracy, this affects only some effects, by
                setting it to the minimum allows to have a fast preview
                of the result.
Level...........controls the amplitude of the effect applyed to the image.

BackGround......if enabled by setting it ON will be always used the original
                image as background, in the fact the frames are drawed on
                the image itself.

                  It's a function not binded to the rest of the program:
                  it converts an AnimBrush file (DPaint format) into GifAnim
                  format. By pressing this gadget first will be asked for the
                  name of the source file and then will be asked for the name
                  of the .GIF file that you want to create.

The mechanism is very simple:
   you have to select a IFF image,
   you have to select one of the available effects,
   you have to press GO !
After a short lapse of time, it depends on the type of the selected wave
   and the owned processor, you should have in RAM: a file with name
   anim.gif, that is the animation ready to be renamed and used.
Small animations created using DPaint or PPaint may be converted quicky:
   you only need to press the button @{" AnimB --> GifAnim " LINK AnimB->GifAnim}.
