P-rotate (aka billboard)
---------
Type: 		P-rotate
Direction: 	start, stop
Size: 		angle in degrees
Duration: 	to swing to position

It allows 
	snap, fade, dissolve and rotate as effects.
	fade to black.
	push, pushover, pushunder and wipe
	crawls and scrolls and push partials


P-Gate
======
Persistent gate effect

P-Gate displays the image at an angle to the plane of the screen. One side is 'hinged' on the top, bottom, left or right of the zone and swings away from the viewer, 'into' the screen.

 It can display any graphic or video.  

To start P-Gate display

		<rt:type>P-Gate</rt:type>
		<rt:direction>Left</rt:direction>
		<rt:size>45</rt:size>
		<rt:duration>5000</rt:duration>


Direction can be left, right, top, bottom. 
The P-Gate mode will persist until the 'size' is restored to 0.

Size: is the angle to the screen, with the image pointing away from the viewer.

A number from 0 to 90 will angle the P-Gate regardless of the 'direction'.

Duration: If not zero then it will swing from the current angle to the new angle in those milliseconds.

To stop PGate either
		<rt:type>P-Gate</rt:type>
		<rt:direction>Stop</rt:direction>
		<rt:size>45</rt:size>
		<rt:duration>5000</rt:duration>
OR
		<rt:type>P-Gate</rt:type>
		<rt:direction>Left</rt:direction>
		<rt:size>0</rt:size>
		<rt:duration>5000</rt:duration>

Ie setting the size to 0 will be the same as stop

Other pages can be displayed using the permitted transitions as usual.  

If any of the pages have a P-Gate 'transition' then it will have no effect if the angle is the same.  
If the angle is different the P-Gate will swing from the current angle to the new angle and remain positioned there.
However the direction will persist.  i.e. you can't swing from left to right in one operation.

It allows
	snap, fade, dissolve and as effects.
	fade to black.
	push, pushover, pushunder and wipe
	crawls and scrolls and push partials
