Question: animated gifs

[haesleinhuepf]

I have a 2d+t timelapse dataset as numpy array. I would like to save it as animated gif to disk. Can stackview do this? If yes, how?

Certainly! Stackview can help you save your 2D+t timelapse dataset as an animated GIF to disk. You can use the stackview.animate function for this purpose. Here's a code snippet that demonstrates how to achieve this:

import stackview
import numpy as np

# Assuming 'timelapse_data' is your 2D+t timelapse dataset
timelapse_data = np.array(...)  # Your numpy array data

# Save the animation as a GIF
stackview.animate(timelapse_data, filename="timelapse_animation.gif", frame_delay_ms=100)

This code will take your timelapse data and save it as an animated GIF named timelapse_animation.gif with a frame delay of 100ms between frames. Adjust the frame_delay_ms as needed to control the speed of the animation.
