mahjqa provided a mini-tutorial dealing with making a rotating animated gif here:
quote:I think some people around here might want to make something animated. Here's a shortcut of doing so:
If you have a regular shape (like a star or a gear) you can easily animate it by flipping it 90º each time, for three frames. The star or gear has to have an odd amount of points, (or teeth if you use a gear) but any odd number (3,5,7,329) will do. I used this with the gear sig you can see 3 posts up. Another plus of this method is that you only need 4 frames for an animation.
