GIF and WebM Animation Saving
July 15, 2020 > 91-DIVOC-01: "An interactive visualization of the exponential spread of COVID-19"
Animations can now be saved right in your web browser!
-
Added new “Save” options: GIF and WebM.
- GIF takes a bit longer to encode and may sometimes be of lower quality, but should work on almost all web browsers.
- WebM is a open video format that is just starting to see wide-spread adoption. WebM should work on Chrome, but may fail on other browsers.
In addition, the saving of PNG images also improved:
- PNG images now save a “Desktop-sized” chart that is sized better for sharing, instead of the mobile view.
- PNG images now include the chart header instead of just the graph.
- (These changes also appear in the animation creation above.)
Additional Improvements:
- Added a “Cancel” button to interrupt the rendering.
