Outputing resized animated gif to browser using imagick
- by Freeman
I intent to resize an animated gif and outputing it to the browser on-the-fly. My problem is that when I save the resized image it is of good quality, but if I echo it to the browser it is of poor quality and the animation is removed. Here is the code:`
header("Content-type:image/gif");
try
{
/* Read in the animated gif */
$animation = new Imagick("images/nikks.gif");
/*** Loop through the frames ***/
foreach ($animation as $frame)
{
/*** Thumbnail each frame ***/
$frame->thumbnailImage(200, 200);
/*** Set virtual canvas size to 100x100 ***/
$frame->setImagePage(200, 200, 0, 0);
}
/*** Write image to disk. Notice writeImages instead of writeImage ***/
//$animation->writeImages("images/nikkyo1.gif",true);
echo $animation;
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
echo $e-getMessage();
}
`
