Here is the ppf file (called 'showdemo.ppf' in the CIGAL directory under CIGAL/Demo) that runs when you choose the 'ShowPlay Example' option from the ShowPlay menu:

showplay 0                      ; should be first line -- forces global initializations
npcx = 0
imagefile1 = param_file         ; stim list in this same file
showdir = getfile(param_file,4) ; base directory for stim files is same as this file
sbackcolor = "black"
stextcolor = 'white'
showbits = 16                   ; should be >= 16 if there are color images
saveflag = -1                   ; don't save any output
return                          ; parameter setting block must end with RETURN statement

(Note: stim don't need to be in order)

This file is a useful starting point for making stimulus files. Anything after a semicolon means it is commented out and not read by the program.
