NAME
Prima::Image::Animate - animate gif,webp,png files
DESCRIPTION
The module provides high-level access to GIF, APNG, and WebP animation sequences.
SYNOPSIS
use Prima qw(Application Image::Animate);
my $x = Prima::Image::Animate->load($ARGV[0]);
die $@ unless $x;
my ( $X, $Y) = ( 0, 100);
my $want_background = 1; # 0 for eventual transparency
my $background = $::application-> get_image( $X, $Y, $x-> size);
$::application-> begin_paint;
while ( my $info = $x-> next) {
my $frame = $background-> dup;
$frame-> begin_paint;
$x-> draw_background( $frame, 0, 0) if $want_background;
$x-> draw( $frame, 0, 0);
$::application-> put_image( $X, $Y, $frame);
$::application-> sync;
select(undef, undef, undef, $info-> {delay});
}
$::application-> put_image( $X, $Y, $g);new $CLASS, %OPTIONS
Creates an empty animation container. If $OPTIONS{images} is given, it is expected to be an array of images, best if loaded from files with the loadExtras and iconUnmask parameters set ( see Prima::image-load for details).
detect_animation $HASH
Checks the {extras} hash obtained from an image loaded with the loadExtras flag set to detect whether the image is an animation or not, and if loading of all of its frame is supported by the module. Returns the file format name on success, undef otherwise.
load $SOURCE, %OPTIONS
Loads a GIF, APNG, or WebP animation sequence from $SOURCE which is either a file or a stream. Options are the same as used by the Prima::Image::load method.
Depending on the loadAll option, either loads all frames at once (1), or uses Prima::Image::Loader to load only a single frame at a time (0, default). Depending on the loading mode, some properties may not be available.
add $IMAGE
Appends an image frame to the container.
Only available if the loadAll option is on.
bgColor
Returns the background color specified by the sequence as the preferred color to use when there is no specific background to superimpose the animation on.
current
Returns the index of the current frame
draw $CANVAS, $X, $Y
Draws the current composite frame on $CANVAS at the given coordinates
draw_background $CANVAS, $X, $Y
Fills the background on $CANVAS at the given coordinates if the file provides the color to fill. Returns a boolean value whether the canvas was drawn on or not.
height
Returns the height of the composite frame
icon
Returns a new icon object created from the current composite frame
image
Returns a new image object created from the current composite frame The transparent pixels on the image are replaced with the preferred background color
is_stopped
Returns true if the animation sequence was stopped, false otherwise. If the sequence was stopped, the only way to restart it is to call reset.
length
Returns the total animation length (without repeats) in seconds.
loopCount [ INTEGER ]
Sets and returns the number of loops left, undef for indefinite.
next
Advances one animation frame. The step triggers changes to the internally kept buffer image that creates the effect of transparency if needed. The method returns a hash, where the following fields are initialized:
- left, bottom, right, top
-
Coordinates of the changed area since the last frame was updated
- delay
-
Time in seconds how long the frame is expected to be displayed
reset
Resets the animation sequence. This call is necessary either when the image sequence was altered, or when the sequence display restart is needed.
size
Returns the width and height of the composite frame
total
Return the number of frames
warning
If an error occured during frame loading, it will be stored in the warning property. The animation will stop at the last successfully loaded frame
Only available if the loadAll option is off.
width
Returns the width of the composite frame
