Remove conversion to gif as it is not supported by ruby-vips. #3

Closed mariovisic closed 11 years ago

mariovisic commented 11 years ago

ruby-vips does not have a gif converter class anymore (not sure if it did before?) so it will error out when trying to convert to gif.

You can see the available writer classes here: https://github.com/jcupitt/ruby-vips/blob/master/lib/vips/writer.rb#L235-262

libvips documentation doesn't seem to reference GIF at all.

jcupitt commented 11 years ago

libvips has a thing to read via libMagick, so it can read any format supported by ImageMagick. Though it's a little slow and clunky compared to the built-in readers.

There's no write-via-libMagick though, so GIF write is not possible.

Good to know, thanks. I have updated the README to reflect this information.
