As a footnote: Since Unisys holds a patent on the LZW encoding used in
GIF images, if you are developing this software for commercial purposes,
you would be required to secure a license from them in order to use GIF
images (see: http://lpf.ai.mit.edu/Patents/Gif/unisys.html). At least
they are no longer going after _everyone_ who generates GIF images...but
it's still another reason to use PNG.

Please, I need help on the following problem. I would like to create a
gif file from a visad display. I am using the code below but it does not
work. Thanks for any help.
Runnable captureImage = new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Image img = display.getImage();
Graphics g =img.getGraphics();
g.drawImage(img, 0,0, null);
try
{
File filee = new File("file.gif");
OutputStream output = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(filee));
GIFEncoder encoder = new GIFEncoder(img);
encoder.Write(output);
}
catch (Exception w){ }
}
}
Thread t = new Thread(captureImage);
t.start();
