.. _GIF-PIL:
GIF-PIL Static and animated gif (Pillow)
========================================
Extensions: ``.gif``
A format for reading and writing static and animated GIF, based
on Pillow.
Images read with this format are always RGBA. Currently,
the alpha channel is ignored when saving RGB images with this
format.
Parameters for reading
----------------------
None
Parameters for saving
---------------------
loop : int
The number of iterations. Default 0 (meaning loop indefinitely).
duration : {float, list}
The duration (in seconds) of each frame. Either specify one value
that is used for all frames, or one value for each frame.
Note that in the GIF format the duration/delay is expressed in
hundredths of a second, which limits the precision of the duration.
fps : float
The number of frames per second. If duration is not given, the
duration for each frame is set to 1/fps. Default 10.
palettesize : int
The number of colors to quantize the image to. Is rounded to
the nearest power of two. Default 256.
subrectangles : bool
If True, will try and optimize the GIF by storing only the
rectangular parts of each frame that change with respect to the
previous. Default False.
