fps = integer[1..60]

Specifies the frames per second. The default is 30.

height = integer[1..4000]

Specifies the frame height, in pixels. The default is 480.

moviedir = string

Specifies the directory in which to store the generated movie. The default is the user's home directory (kernelopts(homedir)).

moviefile = string

Specifies the name of the generated movie file. The allowable extensions are .avi, .gif, and .webm, in either all lower case or all upper case. If no extension is given, then a .webm movie file is generated. The default is aMovie.webm.

overwrite = true or false

If set to true, this means overwrite an existing moviefile. If false and the moviefile exists, an error is returned. The default is true.

saveresults = string

Specifies the name under which the results are attached to the linked model. If it is an empty string the results are not attached. The default is the empty string.

width = integer[1..4000]

Specifies the frame width, in pixels. The default is 640.

The MakeMovie command creates a standalone movie file from a linked MapleSim model that has visualization components. It returns the movie filename as a string.

The content for the movie is provided in one of two ways: from a simulation record or from binary data and an associated simulation file.

The optional argument simrec is a simulation record returned by either the Simulate command or the compiled procedure generated by GetCompiledProc.  Either method must be passed the keyword argument returntype = simrec.

The optional arguments binfile and simfile can be passed in to define the movie content.
