IMHO animated GIF's have so many limitations i wouldn't support it for GIS related map animations at all. The results will be to horrible. Some arguments against it: * Very small color range support: 8 bit per pixel == 256 colors for a picture * True color is only supported when creating 256 bit tiles in a single picture, each tile can use different parts of a 24 bit RGB color space * Only suitable for small animations and low-resolution film clips * No control over animation frame rate/animation flow/pausing while playing GIF's Best regards Soeren > -- > Martin Landa <landa.martin gmail.com> * http://geo.fsv.cvut.cz/~landa _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
