+	Animbar lets you easily create your own animation on paper and
+	transparancy. From a set of input images two output images are
+	computed, that are printed one on paper and one on
+	transparency. By moving the transparency over the paper you
+	create a fascinating animation effect. This kind of animation
+	technique is hundreds of years old and known under several
+	names: picket fence animation, barrier grid animation, Moiré
+	animation, to name a few.
