Write a (list of) NumPy array(s) to an (animated) GIF.

Project description

Animation of random pixels converging from two colors to one color. T = 0.7 T_c. T = 0.7 T_c

Animation of random pixels converging less slowly to one color. T = 0.88 T_c. T = 0.88 T_c

Animation of random pixels staying mostly random. T = 1.06 T_c. T = 1.06 T_c

Array2GIF provides a single top-level function, write_gif(), to write a 3-D NumPy array to a GIF, or a list of these arrays to an animated GIF. It works for me - just small animations of thermodynamics simulations - like the magnetization in the Ising model shown here.

Usage

Here is an example for a 2 pixel by 3 pixel animated GIF with two frames, switching 5 frames per second. All animations from this library will loop indefinitely.

import numpy as np
from array2gif import write_gif

dataset = [
    np.array([
        [[255, 0, 0], [255, 0, 0]],  # red intensities
        [[0, 255, 0], [0, 255, 0]],  # green intensities
        [[0, 0, 255], [0, 0, 255]]   # blue intensities
    ]),
    np.array([
        [[0, 0, 255], [0, 0, 255]],
        [[0, 255, 0], [0, 255, 0]],
        [[255, 0, 0], [255, 0, 0]]
    ])
]
write_gif(dataset, 'rgbbgr.gif', fps=5)

# or for just a still GIF
write_gif(dataset[0], 'rgb.gif')

Installation

Either:

pip install array2gif

or:

pip install git+https://github.com/tanyaschlusser/array2gif.git#egg=array2gif

Release History

1.0.4 (2018-06-22)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed issue where error was raised when non-integer dataset is used: instead now it is cast to uint8 and a warning is raised if there’s a difference between the two images.

  • Addressed issue where no error is raised when there are more colors than possible in a GIF (256 max). Although it is possible to have a separate palette for every single frame, this is not implemented right now, and the initial global palette is used for the entire animation.

1.0.3 (2018-06-02)

Bugfixes

  • Did not bump version in documentation last times.

1.0.1 (2018-06-02)

Bugfixes

  • Fixed issue where the width and height of an image are swapped. This is clear in image editors but was not obvious when viewed in Chrome.

1.0.0 (2018-05-23)

Improvements

  • It is now possible to use PIL ordering of data (rows x cols x rgb) in addition to the original ordering (rgb x rows x cols).

Bugfixes

  • Fixed issue where array2gif would raise ValueError when using a 4D NumPy array with perfectly valid data. Now it is possible to use either a list of 3D NumPy arrays, or a 4D NumPy array for animated gifs.

0.1.0 (2016-09-30)

Initial release

  • One single function, write_gif.
