Automatically applies AnimateImage script that displays multiple images like animated GIF. All you have to do is write img elements.
Auto AnimateImage is WordPress plugin that applies AnimateImage script to your site automatically. AnimateImage displays multiple images continuously like animated GIF. All you have to do is write img
element like below, and the image will be animated automatically.
<img src="images/0.png" data-files="[0-9].png" />
As you know, animated GIF is the most common animation format, but it supports up to only 256 colors. There are some alternative animation formats such as APNG, MNG, JNG, Motion JPEG and SVG Animation. However they are currently not widely supported by Web browsers. That is why AnimateImage is the most appropriate method for animated images.
img
elements. No JavaScript, No Shortcode, No Gallery.img
elements with data-files
attribute are animated automatically. No need for writing JavaScript.See Installation.
All you have to do is write img
elements with data-files
attribute, and the images will be animated automatically. You can animate multiple images with sequential number, zero-padded sequential number, sequential alphabet and arbitrary filenames.
<img src="sequential/0.png" data-files="[0-99].png" /> <img src="zero-padded/00.png" data-files="[00-99].png" /> <img src="lowercase/prefix-a.png" data-files="prefix-[a-z].png" /> <img src="uppercase/A_suffix.png" data-files="[A-Z]_suffix.png" /> <img src="arbitrary/foo.png" data-files="[foo, bar, baz].png" /> <img src="parent/child0/image.png" data-files="child[0-9]/file.png" />
AnimateImage supports many animation options such as animation delay, repeat count, rewind, pause and blank image. You can specify them with data-*
attributes like below.
<img src="" data-files="" title="" alt="" id="" class="" style="" data-delay="" data-cycleDelay="" data-repeat="" data-rewind="" data-pauseAtFirst="" data-pauseAtLast="" data-showBlank="" data-blankClassName="" data-blankPath="" data-stretchBlank="" />

Any comments will be very helpful and appreciated. Thank you for your support!
