Claim Text:
1. A method of generating an interlaced print file for a lens sheet with slanted lenticules, comprising: providing digital files for a set of frames for interlacing; inputting a slant angle for lenticules of the lens sheet; and interlacing the frames to form an interlaced print file by separating each of the frames into independent color pixels and positioning a number of the independent color pixels from each of the frames in the print file based on a pattern of pixel locations provided in a predefined pixel matrix, wherein the interlacing of the frames does not include slicing each of the frames into slices and does not include splicing the slices together, wherein the pixel matrix includes a plurality of identical submatrices each with an equal number of rows and columns and is configured to map the independent color pixels from each of the frames to the lenticules of the lens sheet based on the slant angle with interlacing of the frames being non-orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of each of the lenticules, wherein each set of interlaced ones of the independent color pixels associated with the set of frames is aligned in a column or in a row of the pixel matrix, wherein the pixel matrix comprises a number of spaced apart sets of the independent color pixels from each of the frames with the pixel locations for each of the spaced apart sets being arranged linearly at an offset angle of about the slant angle, and wherein the pattern of pixel locations is configured to arrange the sets of interlaced ones of the independent color pixels to each extend linearly and non-orthogonally across one of the lenticules along a line having a length greater than a width of the one of the lenticules.
