With my surprise i noticed that in Gap -frame modify-apply filter on layers are available also some third party plugins as Mathmap

But then only the option "apply constant " is available not that i will need "apply variant"

The question is if there is any possible hack or workaround to activate the "apply variant" option for some 3d party plugin. (some if not all, but i don't want ask too much, just activate it for Mathmap or even for only a couple of mathmap codes will solve my problem)

If impossible now there is any plan to increase the compatibility in a close future?

PS i even try with others to solve in the other way around adding animation option to that MM codes, but that fails ,no one of the tenctative was fully sucessful

Sure. Read docs/howto/txt/HOWTO-write-animated-plug-ins.txt in the GAP

source code.

thank i read it and was a pleasant surprise, the process seems less complex of what i feared and is described step by step

But at the very beginning, here

" 1.a # for bourne and ksh users:
GAP_DEBUG=y
export GAP_DEBUG

1.b # for csh users
setenv GAP_DEBUG y "

Now i don't know if i am a bourne, a ksh, or a csh user, i just know (and not as expert) how to use the terminal of my distro Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
So is that default terminal adapt for this use (if not what else?) and if adapt is "a" , "b", or something else the command i have to use for start ?

i fear that will not work with MathMap ( is only apparently able to memorize the last setting used but if called with the "repeat" option just run with the default values not with last used) but i will like try with "liquid resize" that is another plugin i wish to use in animation
