Hello,
I would like to create an animated gif for a latex src block. Here to fix ideas such a block : <====================================================================================> #+header: :file test4.gif #+header: :exports results #+header: :results output silent graphics file #+header: :imagemagick yes :iminoptions -density 600 -delay 8 -loop 0 -background white -alpha remove #+header: :fit yes :noweb yes :headers '("\\usepackage{tikz}") #+begin_src latex \foreach \angle in {0,10,...,360} { \begin{tikzpicture} % fill circle and plot \fill[blue!50] (-1,0) arc (0:\angle:1) -- (-2,0) -- cycle; \fill[blue!50] plot[smooth,domain=0:\angle] (pi/180*\x,{sin(\x)}) |- (0,0); % draw connection \draw (-2,0) +(\angle:1) circle (2pt) -- (pi/180*\angle,{sin(\angle)}) circle (2pt); % draw axes an ticks \draw (-3.5,0) -- (7,0); \foreach \deg in {90, 180, 270, 360} \draw (pi/180*\deg,2pt) -- (pi/180*\deg,-2pt) node[below] {$\deg^\circ$}; \draw (0,-1.2) -- (0,1.2); \foreach \y in {-1,-0.5,0.5,1} \draw (2pt,\y) -- (-2pt,\y) node[left] {$\y$}; % draw plot and circle outline \draw plot[smooth,domain=0:360] (pi/180*\x,{sin(\x)}); \draw (-2,0) circle (1); \end{tikzpicture} } #+end_src <====================================================================================> grabbed here : https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/291627/draw-an-animated-gif-of-trigonometry-function When hitting [C-c C-c], it does produce a gif, but which cannot be animated. I downloaded another animated gif on internet which works properly within emacs, so the issue comes most probably from the latex to pdf generation. I noticed that the latex header used is <==============================================================> \documentclass{article} \usepackage[usenames]{color} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{rotating} \usepackage[normalem]{ulem} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{capt-of} \pagestyle{empty} % do not remove % The settings below are copied from fullpage.sty \setlength{\textwidth}{\paperwidth} \addtolength{\textwidth}{-3cm} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{1.5cm} \addtolength{\oddsidemargin}{-2.54cm} \setlength{\evensidemargin}{\oddsidemargin} \setlength{\textheight}{\paperheight} \addtolength{\textheight}{-\headheight} \addtolength{\textheight}{-\headsep} \addtolength{\textheight}{-\footskip} \addtolength{\textheight}{-3cm} \setlength{\topmargin}{1.5cm} \addtolength{\topmargin}{-2.54cm} \usepackage[active, tightpage]{preview} <==============================================================> which is different from the latex header used in tex.stackexchange page : <========================================> \documentclass[tikz]{standalone} \usepackage{tikz} <========================================> I replaced the default header provided by emacs with this very one and it worked. Is it possible to modify the latex header depending on the export image format ?
