save animated GIF in Python Image Library

[christof hoeke]

hi,
how can i save an animated GIF with PIL?

e.g. to rotate all frames of an image i tried the following:

im = Image.open('ani m.gif')
for f in ImageSequence(i m): #using the class from the PIL handbook
if f:
f = f.rotate(180)
im.save('animro tated.gif')

problem is that only one frame (i guess the last one) is saved.
i could not find any options for saving GIFs in the handbook.

can this be done at all?

thanks
christof

see the "gifmaker" example in the Scripts directory.

(get the PIL source distribution if you don't have it)
