Hi Tutu,

the small change described in the post before solves also the problem with your gif examples.

I have a problem with the Gif.Example.vi. I would like to implement a gif picture I created on my own. Some pictures are shown correct (like the emoticons from the test gifs folder), but not the one I created. What's the reason (i think it could be the size), can you help me?

The following folder contains two pictures which are displayed correct and the two other ones we need to display

Hi crozza,

yes you are correct it is the size. I already described it here only 4-5 posts before!

You can use Quicktime to control GIF animation.

Hi Mike, 

I'd like to view this GIF using your VI, but I'm having problems; do you know what the issue is?

I tried loading it into your Gif.Example.VI, but it wouldn't play.  

I'd ultimately like to convert this GIF to a 3D array of intensity values.  Would this be possible without using IMAQs picturetoarray function?

Hi Gastro:

Did you download the zip file from the first page and replace Gif.ImageData.vi with the one posted at the bottom of page 3?  I ran this in LV 8.6.1 and it properly generated an array of images that you could do your image processing on.

To get an array of intensity values, you can use Picture to Pixmap.vi and Unflatten Pixmap.vi instead of the IMAQ functions.

Hi John,

you can download this zip file:

Then you can use the attached example to read your gif file.

I tested it with you file and it works.
