The run section

The Value Section run is a dictionary with the following Fields:

fps (default 0)

Maximum number of frames per second to display

max_cycles (default 0)

If set, play the animation this many times. If max_cycles is 0, then play the animation forever.

seconds (default None)

Maximum number of seconds to play, if set.

For developers only, there’s one more field:

main (default None)

If non-empty, then bp runs in a background thread, and the function named here runs in the foreground

Examples

Example 1: Run forever at 30 frames per second (fps)

run:
  fps: 30

Example 2: Run for two seconds at 10 fps, then stop

run:
  seconds: 2
  fps: 10

Example 3: Run three times, then stop

run:
  max_cycles: 3
