svganimator | application svganinmator attempts to build | Animation library

svganimator is a Python library typically used in User Interface, Animation applications. svganimator has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Strong Copyleft License and it has low support. However svganimator build file is not available. You can download it from GitHub.

The application svganinmator attempts to build a single animated SVG out of a sequence of distinct static SVG files. It's not a substitute for using proper tools to create animated SVG files but it can be helpful if you're using an external library to generate images and it doesn't allow for animations. If you're in that situation then it's worth a try. If you run it with the --basic option it will group each input image into a separate frame and then animate between them. This can result in very large file sizes as any redundant elements are included multiple times but it will probably produce a working animation as long as the individual frames weren't already animated or interactive. It does compare favorably to fetching a number of different SVG files and then cycling between them using css or javascript because it reduces the number of file requests and allows all of the frames to be compressed at once. This tends to result in a smaller overall size than the separately compressed SVG files due to the increased redundancy. Without the --basic option, svganimator will attempt to find matching elements between frames an animate between them. This allows for smooth transitions between frames and also dramatically reduces the file sizes. This is relatively fragile at the moment but when it does work it can produce some pretty cool results. It works best in scenarios where you're using SVG files that are likely very similar in structure, which is often the case when using an external library that programatically generates the images.
