Perhaps you can forward your finding to NI support (or
feature request) so they can change the animated GIF display algorithm used. It would be nice if NI's interpretation was not so sensitive. The less playing around we have to do with images, the better.
What you suggest is actually that the LabVIEW animated GIF implementation should not work according to the definition of GIFs but instead to the flawed implementation in some of nowadays browsers.
It doesn't seam a sensitive idea to me. Would be like saying all websites should implement the MS IE HTML standard and drop the official W3C standards because IE is now the defacto standard (at least for the moment).
Really? I didn't get that conclusion from the experiments
listed by Paul or others. Actually, I don't think we are at all qualified to make any conclusions on the internal workings of LabVIEW (unless you wrote the algorithm). I agree that IE is not compliant but how about Firefox (by Mozilla)? The animation works just fine there too. So far it seems that 3 major browser think the image is ok. Also, why do some graphics packages create "proper" images and some not. LabVIEW is a not a web browser... we just want to get simple animations to work. Anyways, what does it hurt to bring it to NI's attention? Let them decide.
