I was trying to create an animated .gif with Mathematica. I knew that the function to use was
Export["animation.gif",tableplot]
where tableplot
contains the table of my plots. However, I also know that when creating a .gif, you can tune the duration of each frame. Looking at Wolfram Documentation Center for Export
, I have not been able to identify how this duration could be selected.
Fortunately, looking at this answer, I found that the correct argument was
Export["animation.gif",tableplot,"DisplayDurations" -> 0.5]
It appears that the description of the available options could be found in the documentation under the ones associated with GIF
.
However, how could one find the name of the option "DisplayDurations"
, if one does not have access neither to this thread neither to the Documentation ? Is there a way to find programmaticaly all the possible options associated to the Export
as a .gif ? More generally, if I have a function f
, is there a way to know all the possible options f
can receive ?
GIF
format not for theExport
function. Follow the link provided by Öskå. You may want to read this answer. $\endgroup$f
, is there a way to know all the possible optionsf
can receive ? $\endgroup$Options
and its friends,AbsoluteOptions
. I hope you don't mind, but this questions will be put on-hold. $\endgroup$Import
andExport
have a link near the top "Listing of Formats." Entering "GIF" in the search field yields the GIF page, which is quite extensive and explains several things about"DisplayDurations"
. The documentation of some formats seems less extensive or there is less to explain. $\endgroup$
