How to create a gif with Python

HI, I'm back after a while, so I want to share some little nice code (useful, if it's possible). I keep loving Python and keep using it on a daily routine and, if I got time, I want to come back here to share some cool stuff with the world wide web.
So, I searched for some method to make gifs with Python and I found this code. You have to put all the images in a directory. Write this code, save it in the directory and let it run. You can use any program to make the images. I used powrpoint, then I saved each slide as a png and then I run the program. I had also to change the name of the slides to make them in the right order, but I will talk about this in the next post.

Here is the code

import subprocess
import os

def mk(i, o, delay=100):
    subprocess.call("convert -delay " +
                    delay + " -loop 5 " + i + " " + o, shell=True)

delay = input("Delay (default 100): ")
mk("*.png", "output.gif", delay)
os.system("start output.gif")

Image in Jupyter and PIL step by step

Hi, """ Hi, we will see a step by step tutorial about PIL and IPython.core.display modules to create images from other images and diplaying them in Jupyter notebook """ # What we will do # Create a card # 1. Take a pic of a heart # 2. Create an image blanck the size of a card 90*130 # 3. Paste the heart in the middle # 4. show the card """ As first step wi will simply display an image on the notebook. I will show two way to display the image with 'display' from IPhyton a. Using the open method of PIL.Image (named Img) b. Using the Image method from the IPython.core.display module """ # 1. Take the pic of a heart from IPython.core.display import Image , display from PIL import Image as Img heart = 'img/heart.png' display ( Image ( heart )) display ( Img . open ( heart )) # 2.

Let's draw a circle with PIL in Python

Let's continue making our coding around PIL. Let's start with some basic drawing: a circle from PIL import Image , ImageDraw img = Image . new ( "RGB" ,( 60 , 60 ), 'white' ) dr = ImageDraw . Draw ( img ) dr . ellipse (( 0 , 0 , 60 , 60 ), 'yellow' ) img . show () this is the image produced *If you use jupyter notebook, just write img at the end to see the output.
