Thanks for posting the update, Phil!  This should have been part of nGif from the beginning!

Hi,
Nice and very helpful. Still - by touching the code here and there (all SetPixel and GetPixel methods, actually), I managed to significantly improve the speed of both the encoder and the decoder. If you're interested to include the changes in your version, contact me on lllopo(_at_)abv.bg

Grts., Joro

I did that in simpler way. The still problem is encoding error; just look at the unnormal pixel added at the end of each image in the ani gif file.

I have solved the problem.

Hi there Phil.

A few months ago I was searching for a library for encoding animated GIF files and found this.

Since then I've added support for using a global colour table and also refactored it quite a bit, moving most of the discrete building blocks of a GIF file into their own classes and exposing all their attributes as public properties.

I've written two applications which use this library. One just loads a GIF file and dissects it into its components, displaying all their attributes - I used this extensively to debug the changes I made to the encoder class. The other generates images of fractals and animates them.

I'd like to release these applications to the world under the GNU GPL and publish them on a site such as SourceForge, but first I need to check whether you have any objections to me releasing a work derived from your code in this way.

I'd also like to check whether I've credited you properly, both in the application UIs and in the source code, and likewise whether I've properly credited the various other developers whose code has been included and/or ported into your original nGif library.

What do you think would be the best way to go about this? I guess the easiest way would be to publish the code and send you the URL, but I'm a bit reluctant to go publishing it without first seeking your approval, a bit of a chicken-and-egg situation.

Please drop me a line and let me know (I gather this form should give you my e-mail address).

Cheers, Simon.
