This chapter deals with animation in ImageMagick. There are two ways of handling an animation. We can just show a number of still images in a directory with a predefined delay or we can make an animated file with them and show the result. The convert
and display
utilities are capable of making and showing animated files. Beside these utilities animate is specially developed for working on animations in ImageMagick.
In this chapter we will study animate
, its weaknesses and strengths, and then during some workshops we will use convert
to make some animated files.
