View multiple gif files

Project description

MultiGifView

MultiGifView is a bare-bones Python program for viewing several .gif files at once, with their play-back synchronised.

The gifs are opened in two columns.

Installation

Install with pip

$ pip install multigifview

or with conda

$ conda install -c conda-forge multigifview

known issues

Installing an unreleased version with pip from the git repo like this

$ python -m pip install --user https://github.com/johnomotani/multigifview.git

is expected to fail because of a missing man page file. As an alternative, clone the repo and see DEVELOPMENT.md for how to install.

Usage

$ multigifview movie1.gif movie2.gif movie3.gif ...

Once the window is opened:

  • play/pause - space, or click play button in bottom left

  • next frame - n, right arrow or seek-forward button in bottom left

  • previous frame - p, left arrow or seek-backward button in bottom left

  • end - e, down arrow, or skip-forward button in bottom left

  • beginning - b, up arrow, or skip-backward button in bottom left

  • zoom out - - or zoom-out button at bottom

  • zoom in - + or zoom-in button at bottom

  • zoom to scale factor - enter number (in %) into box in bottom panel and press enter

  • quit - q, Ctrl-q, Ctrl-w, Ctrl-x, button in bottom right or close the window

Command line argumens:

-c, --max-columns <i> : use at most <i> columns for display

-h, --help : print help text

-n, --no-titles: turn off titles over each gif

-v, --version : print the version number

-z, --zoom : set the initial zoom level in %

In Python code

MultiGifView can be used from within Python code.

>>> from multigifview import show_gifs
>>> show_gifs("gif1.gif", "gif2.gif")

Any number of gifs can be passed as positional arguments. max_columns can be passed as a keyword argument. An argument titles=False can be passed to turn off titles above gifs.
