SWF Shockwave flash
===================
Extensions: ``.swf``
Shockwave flash (SWF) is a media format designed for rich and
interactive animations. This plugin makes use of this format to
store a series of images in a lossless format with good compression
(zlib). The resulting images can be shown as an animation using
a flash player (such as the browser).
SWF stores images in RGBA format. RGB or grayscale images are
automatically converted. SWF does not support meta data.
Parameters for reading
----------------------
loop : bool
If True, the video will rewind as soon as a frame is requested
beyond the last frame. Otherwise, IndexError is raised. Default False.
Parameters for saving
---------------------
fps : int
The speed to play the animation. Default 12.
loop : bool
If True, add a tag to the end of the file to play again from
the first frame. Most flash players will then play the movie
in a loop. Note that the imageio SWF Reader does not check this
tag. Default True.
html : bool
If the output is a file on the file system, write an html file
(in HTML5) that shows the animation. Default False.
compress : bool
Whether to compress the swf file. Default False. You probably don't
want to use this. This does not decrease the file size since
the images are already compressed. It will result in slower
read and write time. The only purpose of this feature is to
create compressed SWF files, so that we can test the
functionality to read them.
