Animated images for the web.

Create full-color, SVG-based animated images for every browser.

WebFrames images:

• can contain bitmap and/or vector artwork
• can be lossy (bitmap only) or lossless
• do not have the quality limitations of GIF
• do not have the browser limitations of APNG, MNG, WebP or video
• do not require JavaScript or a plugin
• use technology already present in current web browsers

Import an image sequence in any of these formats: GIF, JPEG, PNG ... (soon SVG)

Visit the svachon.com/webframes website for more information and examples.

Node.js >= 0.10 and graphicsmagick are required. There're two ways to use it:

To install, type this at the command line:

npm install webframes -g

After that, check out webframes -? for available options. Typical usage might look like:

webframes --input sequence/ --output sequence.svg -Ccm

To install, type this at the command line:

npm install webframes --save-dev

Typical usage might look like:

var webframes = require("webframes");

webframes({
	contain: true,
	css: true,
	export: true,
	input: ["path/to/image1.png", "path/to/image2.png"],
	minify: true
}, function(error, result) {
	if (!error) console.log(result);	//=> [Buffer]
});

• try putting CSS at bottom to see if it prevents the need for --contain, which will add support for Safari
• switch from smil2css to manually writing css, retain smil version for --css false
• switch from gm to node-imagick
• import SVG sequences
• localize stored image paths so that tests pass on travis-ci
• merge --input and --input-project
