Animated GIF images - resolution requirements

Post by NewJoker »

Hi,

the release notes wiki pages typically contain animated GIF images. I've noticed that some of them have to be clicked to start the animation. They have the following description: Note: Due to technical limitations, thumbnails of high resolution GIF images such as this one will not be animated. But what exactly is meant by high resolution here ? I use ScreenToGif software to capture GIF images and I can set the resolution but I don't know what the maximum value for automatic animation is. Any hints ?

Hi

try different length height (not resolution ppp) and test it

Maybe you need a special feature, go into Macros_recipes and Code_snippets, Topological_data_scripting.
My macros on Gist.github here complete macros Wiki and forum.

Animated GIFs where (width × height × number of frames) exceeds this limit will be thumbnailed to a single, static frame, instead of getting an animated thumbnail.
