gif work with `animated` keyword

[alixander]

Currently the animated keyword works on connections to make them appear animated in SVGs, but it doesn't work in GIF. GIF only works for multi-board diagrams.

Reasonable for GIF to work with just one board that has an animated connection.

"d2.exe --animate-interval" and "style.animated: true" what are you going to do about the coexistence?

[alixander]

There's no conflict.

--animate-interval dictates how long the GIF lingers on each board. style.animated makes the line animated at a constant rate.

i could not imagine that each one is animated in its own time interval in the gif file. but you said there was no problem. thank you.

I tried this-

A -> B : "Animated" {
    style: {
        "animated": true
    }
}

Then export like this-

d2 test.d2 test.gif --animate-interval=1200

It the preview it works, as well as in the svg export. But for gif export, it doesn't animate.

I am on Mac by the way.

+1, a lot of apps (eg Slack) don't support SVGs. I'm working around it with an SVG->GIF service, but it loses tooltips
