Create animations with imagemagick
I’ve considered the tool imagemagick
on multiple occasions (it does practically anything you could imagine with images), but finally downloaded and tested it out. Here’s how I created a useless gif animation.
First, generate two gifs.
convert -pointsize 20 -page 50x20 label:Open -append open.gif; \
convert -pointsize 20 -page 50x20 label:Close -append close.gif
Next, combine them together into an animation.
convert -delay 100 -page 50x20 open.gif -page 50x20 close.gif -loop 0 animation.gif
Open up animation.gif
in your web browser and, viola, that’s it!
