gof

✨ a GUI agnostic GIF player with playback control

🚀 Install

go get -u github.com/claytn/gof

💡 Usage

gp, err := gof.New("./sample.gif", func(img *image.Image) {
	// GUI rendering logic
})

go func () {
	for {
		// Update playback direction to "rewind"
		gp.SetFrameDirection(gof.REWIND)
		time.Sleep(time.Second * 5)

		// Pause playback
		gp.SetFrameDirection(gof.PAUSE)
		time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)

		// Update playback frame rate delay
		gp.SetDelay(time.Millisecond * 20)

		// Begin playing GIF in "forward" direction
		gp.SetFrameDirection(gof.PLAY)
	}
}()

Spec

• New
• SetFrameDirection
• SetDelay

New

Creates and starts a new GIF player

gof.New is the entry point to creating a GIF player. Given a valid path to a GIF file, New will load the file and begin calling the render function on a delay specified by the GIF file. By default the player will call your custom render function with incrementing frames (i.e in a "forward" direction).

gp, err := gof.New("path/to/gif", func (img *image.Image) {
	// ADD GUI RENDERING LOGIC TO UPDATE CANVAS
})

SetFrameDirection

Gives you the ability to change the direction frames are "rendered"

Once called, SetFrameDirection will change the receiving order of each GIF frame in your custom render function or will halt render calls all-together depending on the provided frameDirection argument.

Options include: gof.PLAY, gof.PAUSE, gof.REWIND

gp, err := gof.New("path/to/gif", func (img *image.Image) {
	// ADD GUI RENDERING LOGIC TO UPDATE CANVAS
})

// Call custom render function with decrementing frame index
gp.SetFrameDirection(gof.REWIND)

SetDelay

Change the speed of your GIF

Once called, SetDelay will change the tick interval between calls to your custom render function.

gp, err := gof.New("path/to/gif", func (img *image.Image) {
	// ADD GUI RENDERING LOGIC TO UPDATE CANVAS
})

// Change tick interval between render calls to 25ms
gp.SetDelay(time.Millisecond * 25)
