A string value. Typically powers of 2.

Yes, bits per second.

Related flags: mv_exportFormat

Specifies the color of the text/patterns printed on the annotation frame of the output movie. This is only used when the flag "SO_MV_colortable" is a string value specifying a matplotlib colormap.

Default value: 0

a float value.

Yes. Milliseconds.

None

Specifies the number of pixels to remove (cut) from all sides of each movie frame. When set to 0, no pixels are removed.

Default value: 0

An integer. Must be greater than or equal to 0, and smaller than half the width/height of a frame.

Yes. Pixels.

None

Controls the font size of the time string in movie output. NOTE: Since all other fonts try to scale with the time string, this could be used to control the font size of all text in movie output.

Default value: 0.8

A float value. Possibilities: 0: no time string is drawn. 1: time string is drawn, with an internally calculated appropriate font. (0, 1): try to make the font smaller than the internally calculated appropriate font. May not work if font size<8

1: try to make the font larger than internally calculated appropriate font.

No

Timing information is inserted in the frame below the movie. Therefore, mv_ygap needs to be sufficiently > 0.

Specifies the type of movie output

Default value: libx264

Can be one of the following:

• single_tif: exports to single layer tif file
• stack_tif: exports to multi layer tif file
• libx264: exports to a compressed MP4 file with H264 encoding (very little loss of quality).
• ayuv: export to an uncompressed AVI file with AYUV encoding

No

None

Indicates a frame number, all frames before this frame will be excluded in movie output. First frame has number 0. Negative value will result in exclusion of no frames at the beginning.

Default value: 0

• On Mac, you can find font file names using Font Book (not tested)

• 6: lower end is set to the value of the flag SO_MV_scalemin, the upper end is set as in when 5.

Valid values for y are: 1:scale minimum to 0 and 0 to maximum separatedly into lower and upper half range 2:center scaling at 0, adapt minimum or maximum accordingly
