Adds performant animated GIF support to UIKit. If you're looking for the Japanese prefecture, click [here](https://goo.gl/maps/CCeAc).
|
|
|
|
#### How?
|
|
|
|
Gifu uses a `UIImageView` subclass and an animator that keeps track of frames and their durations.
|
|
|
|
It uses `CADisplayLink` to animate the view and only keeps a limited number of
|
|
resized frames in-memory, which exponentially minimizes memory usage for large GIF files (+300 frames).
|
|
|
|
The figure below summarizes how this works in practice. Given an image
|
|
containing 10 frames, Gifu will load the current frame (red), pre-load the next two frames in this example (orange), and nullify all the other frames to free up memory (gray):

|
#### Install
|
|
#### [Carthage](https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage)
|
|
|
|
- Add the following to your Cartfile: `github "kaishin/Gifu"`
|
|
- Then run `carthage update`
|
|
- Follow the current instructions in [Carthage's README][carthage-installation]
|
|
for up to date installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
[carthage-installation]: https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage#adding-frameworks-to-an-application
|
|
|
|
#### [CocoaPods](http://cocoapods.org)
|
|
|
|
- Add the following to your [Podfile](http://guides.cocoapods.org/using/the-podfile.html): `pod 'Gifu'`
|
|
- You will also need to make sure you're opting into using frameworks: `use_frameworks!`
|
|
- Then run `pod install` with CocoaPods 0.36 or newer.
|
|
|
|
#### Usage
|
|
|
|
Start by instantiating an `AnimatableImageView` either in code or Interface Builder, then call `animateWithImage(named:)` or `animateWithImageData(data:)` on it.
|
|
|
|
```swift
|
|
let imageView = AnimatableImageView(frame: CGRect(...))
|
|
imageView.animateWithImage(named: "mugen.gif")
|
|
```
|
|
You can stop the animation anytime using `imageView.stopAnimatingGIF()`, and resume
|
|
it using `imageView.startAnimatingGIF()`.
|
|
|
|
The `isAnimatingGIF()` method returns the current animation state of the view if it has an animatable image.
|
|
