plot_utils

In the plot_utils module we have defined a function, make_gif, to realize animated gifs out of a list of figures. This is to us a fine way to visualize the imporvement during training of a machine learning algorithm, especially if they deal with reproducing patterns or images.

make_gif

plot_utils.make_gif(input_im, output_gif='my_gif.gif', duration=0.5, keep_im=False)[source]

Function to create a gif out of a list of figures.

Parameters

  • input_im (list[str]) – file names of images to compose the animated gif.

  • output_gif (str) – Optional (Default=”my_gif.gif”). Name of the output gif file.

  • duration (float) – Optional (Default=0.5). Define the time interval (in seconds) between frames.

  • keep_im (bool) – Optional (Default=False). If True, the images used to create the gif are kept in memory; otherwise they are deleted.

Raises

OSError – Incorrect file(s) name.
