[gradsusr] How to save an animation

[Bob Kuligowski]

Hernán,

    You can also use the linux 'convert' command:

convert source*.gif -loop LL -delay DD loopimage.gif

where
source*.gif is the list of source images (the downside is they will be
used in the order in which they appear in ls)
LL is the number of times you want the image to loop
DD is the delay in milliseconds (though I can never get a long enough delay)
loopimage.gif is the resulting .gif loop.

    In either case, you will still need to create separate individual
.gif images in GrADS.

Cheers,
Bob
