.fi
.SH DECSRIPTION

.BR fp2anim
converts a footprint to a script that can be run through animator(1). It's main use is to have a automated, light-weight footprint preview generator on hosts where installing pcb-rnd would be too expensive (e.g. on web servers). 
.PP
If \fIinputfile\fR is not specified, 
.BR fp2anim
reads its STDIN for the footprint.
