rate The rate attribute controls the playback speed of an animated map. It is an integer value specified in 60ths of a second.

Supporting Tags The rate attribute is used in the <pulse> tag.

Examples <pulse rate="30"/> <!-- 2 frames per second --> <pulse rate="60"/> <!-- 1 fps --> <pulse rate="1"/> <!-- 60 fps, if CPU can keep up -->

Notes Although you can specify a frame rate as high as 60 frames per second (rate="1"), most computers available at the time of this writing will have trouble keeping up. In practical terms, a rate of "1" simply tells the software to animate as fast as it can. The limit on achievable frame rates is dependent upon the speed of the computer and the complexity of the map.
