From a specification of graphics and printing for a champagne house. The illustration shows a bottle with two separate outlines larger than the bottle around it. I have found "plug-in graphical animation" but am not familiar with it. Here is the text:
LES PHOTOGRAPHIES
COMPLEMENTS GRAPHIQUES
Les photographies détourées, lorsqu’elles sont de taille assez réduite peuvent être accompagnées d’une animation graphique filaire. Cette animation prend la forme du contour de la photographie, cette forme est utilisée en double (deux filets décalés l’un par rapport à l’autre) avec un jeu de couleur sur les filets entourant l’image.

Threadlike graphical animation
Cette animation est composée de deux filets décalés et ceux-ci font un jeu de couleur. Gives me a picture of the neon lights one sees on American movies theatres; the entrances. I got filiform and filamentary for filaire also

line art
From the description give, I guess that's what it would be; I think the term usually refers to wire-frame (animation, modelling etc.), but I don't feel that those terms would be quite so appropriate here.

: according to the description, this is not at all "animation filaire/fil de fer" - wireframe as you said - nor is it line art. They get "filaire" from "filet". I think it's just one of those kitsch flashy light animation jobs ;-)

Thanks, Sue! As I think I made it quite clear, the usual meaning of 'filaire' would not seem to apply here; I think you're probably right about the 'kitsch flashy light thing', though it's hard to see if this is genuine animation, or not
