I try to use "animate" with xelatex. As first example, I use a code from http://tug.org/PSTricks/main.cgi?file=Animation/basics and put it in a minimal document for xelatex.
The compilation doesn't work with xelatex : there is a ouput but many things ara missing. Do you have an idea how to make this work ? (I would like to learn to use animate with pstricks, not tickz ...)
Thank's
