   read 2D slice files and assemble an animation in a mpg movie.

   Quickly written from the example at http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/faq/howto_faq.html

   Options:

    field  --- which variable to slice
    datadir--- path to data directory
    proc   --- an integer giving the processor to read a slice from
    extension --- which plane of xy,xz,yz,Xz. for 2D this should be overwritten.
    format  --- endian. one of little, big, or native (default)
    tmin    --- start time
    tmax    --- end time
    amin    --- minimum value for image scaling
    amax    --- maximum value for image scaling
    transform --- insert arbitrary numerical code to modify the slice
    norm    --- scales calar data
    save    --- directory to save file
    figsize --- tuple containing the size of the figure
    fps     --- Frames per seconds for the video
