一个制作动图的简单函数:

import imageio
import pathlib
from datetime import datetime


def make_gif(image_directory: pathlib.Path, frames_per_second: float, **kwargs):
    """
    Makes a .gif which shows many images at a given frame rate.
    All images should be in order (don't know how this works) in the image directory

    Only tested with .png images but may work with others.

    :param image_directory:
    :type image_directory: pathlib.Path
    :param frames_per_second:
    :type frames_per_second: float
    :param kwargs: image_type='png' or other
    :return: nothing
    """
    assert isinstance(image_directory, pathlib.Path), "input must be a pathlib object"
    image_type = kwargs.get('type', 'png')

    timestampStr = datetime.now().strftime("%y%m%d_%H%M%S")
    gif_dir = image_directory.joinpath(timestampStr + "_GIF.gif")

    print('Started making GIF')
    print('Please wait... ')

    images = []
    for file_name in image_directory.glob('*.' + image_type):
        images.append(imageio.imread(image_directory.joinpath(file_name)))
    imageio.mimsave(gif_dir.as_posix(), images, fps=frames_per_second)

    print('Finished making GIF!')
    print('GIF can be found at: ' + gif_dir.as_posix())


def main():
    fps = 2
    png_dir = pathlib.Path('C:/temp/my_images')
    make_gif(png_dir, fps)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

截至2009年6月，最初引用的博客文章在评论中有一个创建动画动图的方法。下载脚本images2gif.py(以前是images2gif.py，更新由@geographika提供)。

然后，要反转gif中的帧，例如:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from PIL import Image, ImageSequence
import sys, os
filename = sys.argv[1]
im = Image.open(filename)
original_duration = im.info['duration']
frames = [frame.copy() for frame in ImageSequence.Iterator(im)]    
frames.reverse()

from images2gif import writeGif
writeGif("reverse_" + os.path.basename(filename), frames, duration=original_duration/1000.0, dither=0)

就像沃伦去年说的，这是一个老问题。由于人们似乎仍然在浏览页面，我想将他们重定向到一个更现代的解决方案。就像blakev说的，github上有一个枕头的例子。

 import ImageSequence
 import Image
 import gifmaker
 sequence = []

 im = Image.open(....)

 # im is your original image
 frames = [frame.copy() for frame in ImageSequence.Iterator(im)]

 # write GIF animation
 fp = open("out.gif", "wb")
 gifmaker.makedelta(fp, frames)
 fp.close()

注意:这个例子已经过时了(gifmaker不是一个可导入的模块，只是一个脚本)。Pillow有一个GifImagePlugin(其源代码在GitHub上)，但ImageSequence上的文档似乎表明有限的支持(只读)

它不是一个python库，但mencoder可以做到这一点:从多个输入图像文件编码。你可以像这样从python中执行mencoder:

import os

os.system("mencoder ...")

要创建视频，你可以使用opencv，

#load your frames
frames = ...
#create a video writer
writer = cvCreateVideoWriter(filename, -1, fps, frame_size, is_color=1)
#and write your frames in a loop if you want
cvWriteFrame(writer, frames[i])

我尝试了以下方法，非常有用:

首先下载Figtodat和images2gif库到本地目录。

其次，收集数组中的图形并将其转换为动画gif:

import sys
sys.path.insert(0,"/path/to/your/local/directory")
import Figtodat
from images2gif import writeGif
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy

figure = plt.figure()
plot   = figure.add_subplot (111)

plot.hold(False)
    # draw a cardinal sine plot
images=[]
y = numpy.random.randn(100,5)
for i in range(y.shape[1]):
    plot.plot (numpy.sin(y[:,i]))  
    plot.set_ylim(-3.0,3)
    plot.text(90,-2.5,str(i))
    im = Figtodat.fig2img(figure)
    images.append(im)

writeGif("images.gif",images,duration=0.3,dither=0)
