GIF Decoder
===========
**GIF Decoder** is an LVGL extension that enables you to use GIF images in your LVGL UI.
For a detailed introduction, see: https://github.com/lecram/gifdec .
Usage
*****
Once enabled in ``lv_conf.h`` by setting :c:macro:`LV_USE_GIF` to ``1``,
:cpp:expr:`lv_gif_create(parent)` can be used to create a gif widget.
:cpp:expr:`lv_gif_set_src(widget, src)` works very similarly to :cpp:func:`lv_image_set_src`.
As source, it also accepts images as variables (:c:struct:`lv_image_dsc_t`) or files.
Converting GIF Files to C Arrays
--------------------------------
To convert a GIF file to an array of bytes, use `LVGL's online
converter <https://lvgl.io/tools/imageconverter>`__. Select "Raw" color
format and "C array" Output format.
Using GIF Images from Files
---------------------------
Example:
.. code-block:: c
lv_gif_set_src(widget, "S:path/to/example.gif");
Note that, a file system driver needs to be registered to open images
from files. To do so, follow the instructions in :ref:`file_system`.
Memory Requirements
-------------------
To decode and display a GIF animation the following amount of RAM (in bytes) is
required for each of the following color depths:
.. |times| unicode:: U+000D7 .. MULTIPLICATION SIGN
- :c:macro:`LV_COLOR_DEPTH` ``8``: 3 |times| image width |times| image height
- :c:macro:`LV_COLOR_DEPTH` ``16``: 4 |times| image width |times| image height
- :c:macro:`LV_COLOR_DEPTH` ``32``: 5 |times| image width |times| image height
