Can I insert a new generated GIF into my live script

Hello :) I try to make it short and easy.

• Matlab live script
• the script generates a new .gif
• I want to show the new .gif in the script

I know it is possible to insert it at the beginging, but how do I do at runtime?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

It is my understanding that you have generated the gif file at runtime and want to display the same during the runtime itself. As far as I know there is no direct command to display the gif (for images, it is imshow) files at runtime. If you use, imshow command to display a gif file, it will display only one frame. However, one workaround could be to use Video Viewer in your live script. I have attached a live script demonstrating the same.

For more information, you can refer to this answer .

Hope it helps!

Hi, thanks for your answer :) Yeah you understood it correct, sad to hear that there is no workaround without using the video player or only showing one frame at all. From my understanding it should be the same process as inserting a .gif via "Insert" at the begining. Is there no code for this process? :/

(a variable .gif insert would be an option too, but the live script doesnt update the .gif even if it has changed via runtime)

Hi Markus, I am afraid that there is no code (atleast not in my knowledge) available for this process. Do let me know if you find one.
